About the data

Businesses have a responsibility to prevent or mitigate adverse impacts linked to their operations, products or services (UN Guiding Principles). Companies should undertake efforts to actively identify and prevent potential modern slavery risks among users engaging on their platform. Social media platforms are also uniquely placed to raise awareness among at-risk users. Efforts to prevent risk help to demonstrate a company’s commitment to tackling modern slavery.

This metric assesses whether the company discloses in their modern slavery statement any steps they have taken to prevent modern slavery, for example, by reducing vulnerability to modern slavery among at-risk users, or introducing modern slavery considerations in the product design and development stages.

 

Note: this metric is looking for disclosure on measures to actively prevent risks on the platform or reduce vulnerability among users of the social media platform.

* Note on choosing the Year of your answer

Read the MSA Statement carefully to find out what year it covers.

When a statement is referring to a Financial Year (FY) ending in Q1 or early Q2, it should be labeled with the previous year. Example:

 

  • Statement for FY2018/19 ending in April 2019 = 2018
  • Statement for FY2018/19 ending in May 2019 (or later) = 2019
