About this workshop
Managing human rights and modern slavery risk is a core part of responsible business governance. Organisations are increasingly expected to identify, assess and respond to risks across their operations, supply chains and business relationships; not only to meet legal and reporting expectations, but to strengthen ethical decision-making and build more resilient systems. This workshop explores how organisations can take a practical, governance-led approach to managing human rights and modern slavery risk. It provides participants with an understanding of key concepts, emerging expectations and practical steps for embedding effective oversight, risk management and accountability across the business.
