Ordinance on due diligence and transparency regarding minerals and metals from conflict-affected areas and child labour (SR 221.433)

Requires companies to check whether there are reasonable grounds to suspect child labour in their products or services, and if so to keep a supply-chain policy and traceability. In April 2026 the Federal Council put a broader corporate-responsibility law out for consultation.
