Eradicating Modern Slavery in Supply Chains
Who works in your supply chain?
If you don’t know the answer to that question, we have the perfect free event for you.
This event will be interactive and will give you the opportunity to meet and network with other supply chain professionals.
Eradicating Modern Slavery in Supply Chains is an in-person event in Norwich that brings together a wealth of experience of tackling modern slavery – from first-hand experience investigating the crime to eliminating it from global supply chains.
All organisations have a responsibility to eradicate modern slavery through their supply chain, and this is an area where there is more and more legislation across the world. Even if you don’t fall under the remit of the UK Modern Slavery Act, it’s likely that your customers will be accountable to a form of the legislation in countries in which they operate.
The event will feature specialist speakers to advise on, and discuss, modern slavery in Norfolk and in global supply chains. It will share practical advice for how to eliminate criminal practices from supply chains and inform attendees on what to do if they suspect there is abuse in their own supply chains.
As well as top-tier speakers, there will be a panel discussion, titled “Is the UK Modern Slavery Act Fit for Purpose?” It will provoke conversation on the impact the Act has made on UK supply chains and whether there are appropriate amendments which could be made to enhance its objectives.
