Eliminating the use of forced labor globally requires partnerships at both the public and private level. Laws and policies in the U.S. and abroad, as well as informational engagements and sharing of best practices, are all means of building a “whole of society” approach to eliminate the use of forced labor globally. CBP is committed to educating its global partners and sharing best practices regarding enforcement, due diligence, supply chain tracing, and more.
