Digital Tools to Comply with the UK Modern Slavery Act
Manage Human Rights Impacts with Worker Voice Technology
The UK Modern Slavery Act requires companies to publish a ‘slavery and human trafficking Statement’ for each financial year, disclosing the steps they have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in their own operations and supply chains, that is formally approved by the company Board.
