The webinar is co-hosted by European Parliament vice presidents Heidi Hautala and Marcel Kolaja and co-organised by Electronics Watch and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability.

• Verification challenges in public procurement
• Independent monitoring as a solution to the verification challenge and impact of independent monitoring for workers
• Bottom-up investigations for supply chain transparency
