ILO Launches Knowledge Platform To Advance Decent Work In Supply Chains

• • The AI-powered knowledge hub on supply chains is designed to inform evidence-based policy decisions, putting supply chains insights and research at your fingertips.

GENEVA, Switzerland, (ILO News) – The International Labour Organization (ILO) has released an online platform designed to make its research on decent work in supply chains more accessible, actionable, and impactful. The Decent Work in Supply Chains Evidence Hub is a dynamic digital resource that supports evidence-based policymaking and drives forward the ILO's mission of promoting fairer, more sustainable supply chains worldwide.

Drawing on more than 500 publications from the past decade, the hub transforms complex research into clear, usable insights for governments, employers, workers' organizations and development practitioners. By surfacing key findings, identifying knowledge gaps, and offering practical tools, the hub empowers decision-makers to turn research into tangible impact.

At the core of the hub is an innovative use of generative AI, carefully guided by human expertise. This approach ensures content remains accurate, relevant and easy to understand. From plain-language summaries to interactive visualizations and thematic overviews, the hub offers a user-friendly interface making it easier to understand supply chains, trade and investment through the lens of decent work.

“The ILO has built a strong evidence base on decent work, trade, and investment over the past ten years,” said Dan Rees, director of the ILO Priority Action Programme on Decent Work in Supply Chains.“Now, with the Evidence Hub, we have a smarter, more strategic way to share that knowledge-and to help shape supply chains that work for everyone.”

The Evidence Hub was co-developed with the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO) and reflects the ILO's ongoing commitment to closing knowledge gaps and promoting informed action. Key features include the Evidence Map – which highlights areas where evidence is robust and where more data and research are needed – and short, accessible summaries of ILO research and evidence on specific intersections.

The hub aligns with the ILO's supply chains strategy , which calls for better knowledge organization to inform policy and practical interventions. Whether shaping policy, designing programmes, or identifying future research needs, the Evidence Hub is the go-to source.
