Throughout the global construction industry and its material supply chains, forced labour and other exploitation that constitutes modern slavery are common, concealed and subject to inadequate prevention, policing and prosecution. Failure to address modern slavery supply chain risk can lead to reputational, financial, and strategic damage.
In this webinar, we ask industry leaders for their expertise on how the construction sector can mitigate modern slavery supply chain risk. During this 60 minute session they will cover:
- Introduction to ethical labour issues in the sector
- Why construction firms of all sizes should respond to the modern slavery commitments and legislation?
- What good practice should look like? What policies and processes do I need to consider?
- What if an employee spots someone they suspect to be a victim of human trafficking – what do we have to do? How can the industry help me?
- How will I measure progress and demonstrate success?
- If I only do one thing after today – what do you think that should be?
