This is the third session of Electronics Watch’s 2025 Knowledge Building Series for public buyers. It is part of an Innovation Pilot to strengthen and expand Electronics Watch’s impact model via webinars and online workshops that will help you understand risks in your supply chains.

We have 15 places available to LUPC full members on a first-come, first-served basis for this online workshop on credible evidence, offering practical advice and tools to enable you to demand more reliable information and better due diligence from your suppliers.

About this webinar
Speakers will guide you through the different kinds of information that you request from your suppliers to demonstrate that they comply with socially responsible public procurement requirements. The interactive format will include presentations, practical examples and exercises, with opportunities for you to share information and get advice.

Who should attend
The webinar is not limited to a specific sector, and is relevant to everyone responsible for public procurement at all stages of the contract cycle.

What you will learn

• Self-assessment questionnaires
• ESG risk providers
• Certifications and labels
• Modern Slavery / Human Rights Statements
• Other sources of information (e.g. media or NGO reports, engaging with third parties).

You will learn to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different types of evidence, and what questions or additional proof you might ask for from your suppliers to demonstrate that they will meet their contractual obligations on forced labour, modern slavery and other local and international labour standards.

Joining information
We will send you a registration link to access the zoom joining link by 27 May, to all who have booked to attend. Please ensure you complete the registration link before the day of the webinar itself to avoid any issues with receiving the joining instructions.

Please note that Electronics Watch will share attendance of LUPC members at the webinar with us for event reporting purposes.
