Addressing modern slavery/forced labour/ESG compliance risk in both supply-chains and within an organisation has become a fast-growing and complex challenge. Increasingly organisations are being asked about their work in this area too by customers, investors, and employees. In this webinar our expert speakers will look at recent developments, trends and drivers in this sphere at the individual country level in the UK and across Europe as well as at the EU level and consider what the practical implications are for whistleblowing/speaking up/raising concerns.
This webinar will explore:
- What have the recent UK developments been, notably about reform proposals & the UK Parliamentary Enquiry relating to Xinjiang supply chains?
- What’s the EU ESG and supply-chain due diligence proposed legislation all about?
Why do I need to care about greenwashing (false claims)?
If I’m going to blow the whistle on modern slavery what are the signs I need to look out for?
