MSA historic record
About the data
To be able to assess whether companies are improving their modern slavery due diligence over time, the Modern Slavery Act requires companies to publish a statement for every financial year and to make these publicly available. However, companies will often remove statements from previous years, once a new statement is released. This hampers the ability of stakeholders to make year-on-year assessments and hold business to account over a longer period of time.
Methodology
