In 2015, the Group of 7 countries (G7) established the Vision Zero Fund, recognizing the shared responsibility of governments and businesses in addressing occupational safety and health concerns across global supply chains. Two years later, the Group of 20 countries (G20) expressed its support as well.
As stated in the G7 Leaders’ Declaration, “the Fund will … add value to existing ILO projects with its aim of preventing and reducing workplace-related deaths and serious injuries by strengthening public frameworks and establishing sustainable business practices.” Since its establishment in 2016, the Fund has made good on that mandate by working with tripartite partners, including, governments, workers and trade unions, employers and their organizations, multilateral organizations, civil society and development agencies to mobilize collective action both globally and locally.
