Modern Slavery
Governance & SocialModern slavery encompasses forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour. The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, and EU CSDDD require companies to identify and address modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chains. Companies above revenue thresholds must publish annual Modern Slavery Statements describing due diligence steps, risk assessment, training, and effectiveness measures. ESG ratings and assurance processes evaluate modern slavery policies and practices.
