Forced Labor Due Diligence (FLDD) Program

What is the Forced Labor Due Diligence Program? 

The AIAG Forced Labor Due Diligence program provides automotive companies of every size with a standardized, industry-developed approach to identifying, managing, and reporting forced labor risks across the global supply chain. Built in partnership with multiple OEMs, suppliers, and compliance experts, this industry-supported program delivers:

• Due Diligence Reporting Template (DDRT) — a single, common way to demonstrate compliance to all of your customers; now required by participating OEMs from select suppliers in Fall 2025 and expanded to more suppliers in 2026
• Learning Pathways — eight different AIAG training modules that meet your team where they are at and help take them to the next level
• The Marketplace — four leading service providers vetted for their trusted solutions for traceability, data tracking, and reporting available through this program at an industry discount.

Why This Matters

Protecting People, Strengthening Industry Insight. People and the environment are the automotive industry's most important resources.  Upholding social responsibility protects workers, communities, and the long-term sustainability of our global value chain.

New forced labor due diligence laws require companies to identify, address, and report on risks across their supply chains. Enforcement actions — such as shipment detentions by U.S. Customs and Border Protection — underscore the importance of proactive compliance.

Together this shared approached ensures consistency, reduces duplication, and strengthens the industry's ability to identify and address forced labor risk.

Phased DDRT Implementation

The DDRT simplifies reporting and minimizes duplicative efforts for organizations of all sizes.

• September 2026: Select suppliers will submit the DDRT to OEM customers.


• Mid-2026: All applicable suppliers will submit DDRTs annually.
