Join our webinar session A year away - EU Forced Labour Regulation and what the ban will mean for your business

From December 2027, products made with forced labour can no longer be sold in or exported from the EU, regardless of where or by whom they were made. With the European Commission’s initial guidance now published, it is becoming clearer to companies how investigations, enforcement and due diligence expectations will work in practice. In this session, our speakers unpack what the EU Forced Labour Regulation means for your business and how to prepare your supply chains in time.

Enact’s senior advisors Karin Iseman, Lisa Osbäck and Heidi Hautala will provide an overview of the legislation and suggest what companies need to do to get ready.

More specifically, they will:

• Explain the core of the EU Forced Labour Regulation, including the ban on placing products on the EU market and exporting them from it, and why it applies to companies of all sizes and sectors.
• Walk through how enforcement will work, including the split of responsibility between the Commission and national authorities, and what can trigger an investigation.
• Highlight what the Commission's guidelines clarify and which questions remain open, such as the upcoming forced labour risk database and national penalty rules.
• Connect the regulation to existing frameworks such as the CSDDD, CSRD and the OECD due diligence guidance, so you can build on work you already do.
• Share how you can take first steps for using 2027 to prepare.
