Child labour

    ESG & Governance

    Work that deprives children of their childhood, education or health, or that is banned for their age.

    In India, the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act bans the employment of children under 14 and bars adolescents aged 14 to 18 from hazardous work. Risks are highest in agriculture, small workshops and informal supply chains. The BRSR asks for complaints related to child labour.
