About this workshop
Businesses are increasingly facing scrutiny to ensure their supply chains are free from forced labour and modern slavery. From the UK’s Modern Slavery Act to the EU’s Forced Labour Import Ban Regulation, businesses are required to take steps to ensure their supply chains are free from forced labour and report on the steps taken. This interactive workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to assess and mitigate forced labour risks within their supply chains. Participants will gain valuable insights into concrete steps to strengthen compliance and reduce risks across their supply chains.
