Modern Slavery evaluates how a company prevents, detects and remediates all forms of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking and slavery-like practices across its own operations, supply chain and business relationships. It covers:

• zero-tolerance policies & governance – board-approved commitments aligned with ILO Conventions 29 & 105, the UN Guiding Principles and jurisdictional laws (e.g., UK Modern Slavery Act, Australia MSA, California SB 657);
• risk mapping & due diligence – country-, sector- and commodity-level assessments, worker interviews, contract-labour audits and raw-material traceability that identify high-risk tiers;
• preventive measures – ethical recruitment (no fees), written contracts in workers’ languages, retention-of-documents bans, fair wages and accessible grievance channels;
• remediation & remedy – protocols that remove workers from exploitative conditions, repay recruitment fees, provide restitution and partner with NGOs or authorities for survivor support;
• training, KPIs & disclosure – capacity-building for managers, suppliers and auditors; tracking of incidents, corrective-action closure rates and supplier-engagement coverage; public statements and data consistent with frameworks such as GRI 409, SA8000, OECD Due-Diligence Guidance and forthcoming EU CSDDD.
