All businesses today have a responsibility to work towards eradicating modern slavery in their value chain wherever you are in the world. Businesses in the UK whose annual total turnover exceeds £36m are required to publish an annual modern slavery statement (under the UK Modern Slavery Act) however if you’re a smaller business there are also benefits to reporting annually on your human rights due diligence processes and progress, and you’ll be better prepared for once you do reach reporting thresholds as well as demonstrating to your stakeholders what you are doing to address this important topic. Here we’re focusing on how this should be done.

🔍 A modern slavery statement is a corporate disclosure which outlines a company's commitment and actions to prevent and address any forms of modern slavery within its operations and supply chains.
