The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge

The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.

The statement should outline the steps taken during the previous financial year to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not occurring within the organisation or its supply chain.

Summary
What are the UK requirements for publishing a modern slavery statement? 

Under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, organisations must publish a modern slavery statement if they: 
  • Provide goods or services 
  • Operate all or part of their business in the UK
  • Have a global turnover of £36 million or more 

What should a modern slavery statement include?

The statement should outline the steps taken during the previous financial year to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not occurring within the organisation or its supply chain. Organisations can also state that no steps have been taken, but this is generally discouraged as it risks reputational damage. While the Act doesn’t specify exact content, a statement should ideally include: 

  • The organisation’s structure and supply chains
  • Policies and due diligence processes on modern slavery and human trafficking
  • Risk areas in its business and supply chain, along with mitigation strategies
  • Performance indicators to measure progress
  • Staff training on modern slavery awareness and prevention 

How can organisations check for modern slavery risks? 

To identify risks, organisations should review their business operations and supply chains, focusing on factors such as industry type (e.g. agriculture), workforce composition (e.g. reliance on seasonal workers) and supplier location. 

What are some steps to mitigate modern slavery risks?

  • Ensuring employment contracts and right-to-work checks are in place
  • Training staff to identify and report modern slavery concerns
  • Mapping the supply chain to assess and address risks
  • Implementing new supplier assessments, such as questionnaires, site visits, and evidence reviews
