Kern der Offenlegung
This disclosure requires the organization to identify operations and suppliers considered to have significant risk of incidents of child labor or young workers being exposed to hazardous work.
For significant child-labor risks, the organization should identify the relevant types of operations and suppliers and the countries or geographical areas in which they are located.
The disclosure should also describe measures taken during the reporting period that were intended to contribute to the effective abolition of child labor.
Child labor should not be confused with all work performed by persons under 18. The applicable minimum working age depends on compulsory-schooling requirements and the rules established under ILO Convention 138. Young workers are persons above the applicable minimum working age and under 18.
The disclosure is risk-based and does not require a confirmed incident. It also does not require quantitative reporting on incidents of child labor, numbers of young workers or percentages of operations and suppliers assessed.
The public disclosure can use appropriate operation types, supplier types and geographical areas. A detailed list of every individual operation or supplier is not automatically required.

Beispiele
Veranschaulichende Beispiele
Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.
Illustrative example 1
Illustrative synthetic example — Apparel manufacturing
Cut-and-sew and finishing operations in Countries A and B were considered to have significant risk of child labor because of informal recruitment and weak age-verification controls.
Labor agencies, textile processors and trim suppliers in Countries A, B and C were also considered to have significant risk.
Finishing suppliers using hazardous chemicals were identified separately as having significant risk of young workers being exposed to hazardous work.
During the reporting period, the organization strengthened age-verification controls, revised supplier requirements, completed targeted audits and required remediation from affected suppliers.
Synthetic LRA illustration. Replace every figure and fact with the reporting organisation's evidence.
Illustrative example 2
Illustrative synthetic example — Food processing
Seasonal harvesting and packing operations in Country D were considered to have significant child-labor risk.
Labor brokers, farm-gate aggregators and grower groups in Regions E and F were also considered to have significant risk.
Operations and suppliers involving machinery, pesticides, night work or heavy manual handling were separately assessed for significant risk of young workers being exposed to hazardous work.
Measures taken during the period included stronger age verification, targeted training, supplier audits and corrective-action plans.
Synthetic LRA illustration. Replace every figure and fact with the reporting organisation's evidence.
Illustrative example 3
Illustrative synthetic example — No significant risks identified
The organization assessed its operations and suppliers using applicable minimum-age requirements, activity type and geographical risk information. It did not identify operations or suppliers considered to have significant risk under GRI 408-1.
During the reporting period, the organization continued targeted age-verification and supplier due-diligence measures.

Unternehmensberichte
Wie Unternehmen GRI 408-1 in der Praxis berichten
Beispiele für vollständige und teilweise Berichtspraxis. Es handelt sich um evidenzbasierte Analysen, nicht um Vorlagen zum Abschreiben.
London Luton Airport Operations Ltd.
Air Transportation — Airport Services · United Kingdom · 2024
London Luton Airport’s 2024 Sustainability Report explicitly marks GRI 408-1 as N — Not reported in its GRI Index.
The report therefore does not provide the GRI 408-1 information.
The card must not state that page 71 contains data on operations and suppliers at significant risk. Report page 140, which appears as PDF page 70, expressly classifies GRI 408-1 as not reported.
The numbers of suppliers and supplier spend presented elsewhere in the report do not identify:
operations or suppliers at significant child-labor risk;
young-worker hazardous-work risk;
operation or supplier types and geographical areas; or
current-period measures intended to contribute to the effective abolition of child labor.
Classify this report as not reported.
SK Chemicals Co.,Ltd
Chemicals · Republic of Korea · 2024
SK Chemicals’ current card does not establish that GRI 408-1 has been substantively reported.
Page 186 appears to be the GRI content index rather than the substantive child-labor disclosure. A reference to the disclosure title in an index is not evidence that all required information is present.
Page 118 describes broader supply-chain ESG assessments, corrective action and business-partner capability-building. This information can support the management approach, but it does not by itself establish:
operations at significant risk of child labor;
suppliers at significant risk of child labor;
operations or suppliers at significant risk of young workers being exposed to hazardous work;
the required operation or supplier types and geographical areas; or
measures specifically intended to contribute to the effective abolition of child labor.
SK Chemicals’ official human-rights materials state that child labor is prohibited, applicant ages are verified and persons under 18 are not assigned hazardous duties. These are relevant controls and management measures, but they do not automatically satisfy the risk-identification elements of GRI 408-1.
Reassess the substantive report pages before classifying the disclosure. Until child-labor-specific risk information is located, classify it as requires substantive reassessment, not full coverage.
China Airlines, Ltd.
Air Transportation — Airlines · Taiwan · 2024
China Airlines’ 2024 ESG Data and Appendix does not identify significant-risk operations or suppliers under GRI 408-1.
The GRI content index lists GRI 408-1 with Note 7 and no page reference. Note 7 states that there were no relevant incidents.
This is not the same as reporting that no operations or suppliers were considered to have significant risk. GRI 408-1 is a risk-based disclosure and is not limited to detected incidents.
The report’s Supplier Code of Conduct, supplier assessments and geographical supplier information can support the management approach, but they do not automatically provide:
operation and supplier types at significant child-labor risk;
countries or geographical areas with those significant risks;
young-worker hazardous-work risk; or
measures specifically intended to contribute to the effective abolition of child labor.
Page 184 is part of the GRI index and does not describe significant risk areas, as the current card claims.
Classify the disclosure as partial or insufficient, unless a separate substantive risk assessment is located.
