Our international network of local monitoring partners provides public buyers with eyes and ears on the ground in electronics production regions and creates an unparalleled capacity to follow up on contractual labour and safety standards in electronics supply chains. Public buyer collaboration within and across countries creates the strength and leverage to address issues such as forced labour and health and safety hazards and improve conditions for workers.</span></p></div> </div><div class="TextBlockView block block2548251 last float_top_left single_image" id="cocktail-element-168528076936-7"> <div class="ImageGallery image_gallery thumbnail_factory-full_inner_page" id="cocktail-element-168528076936-8"> <ul class="image_list"><li class="image_entry"><img src="/web/20230528133249im_/https://electronicswatch.org/images/2549467/full_inner_page.png" alt="3-steps" class="image"> </li></ul> </div> <div class="text_container"> <p><strong>Which products do we cover?</strong></p> <p>Electronics Watch focuses on monitoring electronics supply chains from component through the final assembly and manufacturing of finished ICT equipment including:<strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li>Desktop computers, portable computers, work stations, tablets, and thin clients<strong> </strong></li> <li>Display screens and monitors<strong> </strong></li> <li>Input peripherals, including mouse, keyboard, joystick, cables, and headsets<strong> </strong></li> <li>Scanners, printers, fax machines, copiers, and combination units<strong> </strong></li> <li>Enterprise ICT including switches, routers, high performance computing (HPC), servers and storage systems<strong> </strong></li> <li>Smart phones and IP telephones<strong> </strong></li> </ul> <p>Are you interested in monitoring other types of electronic products?
