Eureka Forbes says it is investigating findings of alleged child labour at a supplier after four children are rescued from a small-scale vendor in India. The move comes after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asks the company to carry out checks regarding the incident.
Alongside Eureka Forbes, the NHRC notice also involves Havells, an electrical equipment manufacturer, and Unilever’s India unit, according to reporting. The sources describe the NHRC’s action as a request for companies to verify compliance within their supply chains following the rescue of children.
While the details of the vendor, the investigation steps, and timelines are not fully specified across the available reports, both outlets frame the matter as a supply-chain due-diligence response triggered by the NHRC. Eureka Forbes’ stated investigation links the company’s internal review to the regulator’s request, reflecting a broader scrutiny of labour practices among suppliers used by major consumer and electronics firms.
