These materials have been developed by RBA with input from various members and external stakeholders. IBM targeted these courses to its suppliers undergoing audits as further investment in growing the capabilities of our suppliers in terms of social responsibility. 35 IBM suppliers took advantage of the online training, with over 120 people taking an aggregate of 340 hours of training."

"In late 2020, IBM partnered with Stop the Trak (a UK NGO with 15 years of experience in strategies focused on

disrupting human trafficking), to further develop our internal online training. We also augmented the course material

with a moderated learning support community forum dedicated to tackle human trafficking. In 2021, the courses were migrated to the IBM SkillsBuild education website. SkillsBuild is a comprehensive online education platform accessible (free of charge) to a global audience through online self-registration. Both courses, “Introduction to Human Trafficking” and “Disrupting Human Trafficking”, provide the learner with background, context, and useful tips to assist in

the endeavour to end this egregious practice. In 2022, IBM updated and renamed its internal course (Modern Slavery) on the Your Learning platform. This platform (and course) is available to all IBMers and contributes toward annual personal

educational objectives. By the end of 2022, all 25 members of the UK Procurement team had completed the Modern Slavery course. In 2023, IBM plans to encourage other procurement groups around the world to complete this course."
