The global nature of complex supply chains made up of companies competing on prices, profitability and lead times increases the risk of workers being exploited, and in the worst cases, forced into modern slavery.
Can discussing discrimination and injustice directly with suppliers mitigate the risks of slavery and child labour? Sign up for this event, on 12 November, organised by the Danish Ethical Trading Initiative.
Sets out the specific vulnerabilities of migrant workers in supply chains, the role of labour recruitment in creating and enabling exploitation, key contexts where risk is highest, and what effective business responses look like.
Sets out what a modern slavery statement needs to cover, what distinguishes a strong statement from a weak one, how to approach the statement as part of an ongoing programme rather than an annual compliance exercise, and how to use ETI’s evaluation framework to assess and improve your own statement.
Explains the key definitions, the different forms modern slavery takes, its scale globally, and what these concepts mean in practice for businesses operating or sourcing internationally.
Explains the established indicators of forced labour, why many conventional identification methods are poorly suited to detecting it, and what more effective approaches look like in practice.
What forced labour and modern slavery mean in practice, why the regulatory environment is intensifying, what businesses are now expected to do – and how to build an approach that goes beyond compliance.
Business can go so far in driving good practice as directed by the UNGPs, but States have a clear role too in bringing change. A new Standard - the Responsible Fishing Vessel Standard - is an important step towards allowing good practitioners to stand out and be counted
