A Practical Guide to Embedding Modern Slavery Due Diligence in Procurement

What is the webinar about?

Why Modern Slavery Risk Can’t Be Ignored

Modern slavery remains a hidden but pervasive risk across supply chains. As the UK Government’s updated Transparency in Supply Chains (TISC) guidance warns, “modern slavery is so prevalent that if businesses are not identifying risks and cases, they are probably not looking hard enough.” Simply outsourcing this risk to suppliers is not an option —accountability sits with the client organisation.

A Clear Path to Managing Modern Slavery Risks

This webinar will cut through the complexity to show procurement teams what practical steps they can take to prevent, identify, mitigate and remediate the risks of exploitation throughout the procurement process, from designing out risk through to risk assessment, and supplier due diligence to contract clauses and ongoing monitoring. Learn how to take effective, proportionate and practical steps in procurement that not only reduce modern slavery risks but also minimise socio-economic harm, protect your business and strengthen supply chain resilience.
