Irrespective of the quality of these modern slavery statements, the awareness and mitigation measures are much better they were five years ago.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">However, participants agreed on the three key factors deterring effective action: the lack of pressure from regulators and clients, the complexity of the issue, and the decoupling of policies between the organisational and the site level. It is indeed at the site level where things get muddled and there is a lack of clarity about who bears responsibility for the issue.</p> <h3 class="Headingstyled__DynamicHeading-sc-1544wc-0 hVFhal"><strong>Driving action against modern slavery</strong></h3> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">Discussing the current developments outside the UK, particularly with the <a href="https://commission.europa.eu/business-economy-euro/doing-business-eu/sustainability-due-diligence-responsible-business/corporate-sustainability-due-diligence_en">EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD) </a> on the horizon, participants agreed that the UK is falling behind the game in the eradication of modern slavery.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">Forced labour bans and due diligence enforcements could substantially be game changers and accelerate action in the UK. However, in the absence of strong legislation, initiatives like the <a href="https://www.ccla.co.uk/news-media/ccla-led-modern-slavery-programme-announces-progress-across-corporate-engagement-public" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CCLA Modern Slavery Benchmark</a> have been successful in prompting companies to take meaningful action through name and shame approaches.</p></div><div class="quotestyled__QuoteStyled-sc-1hoxm2t-0 djTUCi"><div class="block--article__content"><blockquote><p>Participants agreed that the UK is falling behind the game in the eradication of modern slavery.”</p><cite>Dr Gabriela Gutierrez Huerter O</cite></blockquote></div></div><div class="Richtextstyled__RichtextStyled-sc-1kvg2vc-0 kDBWdG"><h3 class="Headingstyled__DynamicHeading-sc-1544wc-0 hVFhal"><strong>Renewed motivation from government to tackle the issue</strong></h3> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">Participants concurred that the change in government poses an interesting juncture for the anti- slavery and human trafficking community. Efforts like the Home Office <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/18/home-office-hires-staff-clear-backlog-uk-modern-slavery-cases#:~:text=The%20Home%20Office%20has%20recruited,the%20cases%20within%20two%20years.">hire of 200 staff to clear a backlog of 23,300 modern slavery cases</a> were welcomed. Moreover, the current proposal of the Employment Rights Bill to create a Fair Work Agency with powers to fine and prosecute employers who breach employment rights was seen as a step forward in holding businesses accountable.</p> <h3 class="Headingstyled__DynamicHeading-sc-1544wc-0 hVFhal"><strong>The importance of framing the problem</strong></h3> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">My research in the construction sector has revealed the pervasive impact of some frames which have failed to direct responsibility to businesses and hampered the development of collective solutions.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">At the roundtable, participants recognised the importance of language and terms that may emphasise certain facets of the problem, including its causes. While there are still debates on whether the use of the term modern slavery or labour exploitation are the most effective ways to define the issue, participants raised concerns that across the supply chain, many organisations are not able to grasp the differences across these terminologies.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">Other terms like trafficking are also frequently used. Yet there is little understanding of the differences and nuances among them. This is one of the areas where BS 25700 has helped to improve understanding. In addition to outlining best practices in areas such as prevention, identification, mitigation and reporting, the standard provides a holistic overview of the issue to educate users.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">One of the participants suggested that a way to attract attention from a client and senior executive perspective may be through the use of the term slavery discount. The term was coined by Sharon Prince, CEO and founder of Grace Farms Foundation and is now widely used in the Design for Freedom movement. Participants mentioned this could become a powerful device to engage clients when prompting the question on whether a building project is going to cost more.</p></div><div class="quotestyled__QuoteStyled-sc-1hoxm2t-0 djTUCi"><div class="block--article__content"><blockquote><p>One of the participants suggested that a way to attract attention… may be through the use of the term ‘slavery discount’.”</p><cite></cite></blockquote></div></div><div class="Richtextstyled__RichtextStyled-sc-1kvg2vc-0 kDBWdG"><h3 class="Headingstyled__DynamicHeading-sc-1544wc-0 hVFhal"><strong>BS 25700: Supporting organisations on their journey tackling modern slavery </strong></h3> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">The case of adoption of BS25700 presented in the session showcased how an SME can undertake action beyond simply reporting and affect change within the sector. The SME that works in the Built Environment sector has been one of the early adopters of the standard.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG">They provided an inspiring account of how the standard has enabled them to understand better modern slavery within the organisation and triggered questions about how truly ethical their practices are and how to they hold themselves, their supply chain and their clients to account.</p> <p class="Paragraphstyled__ParagraphStyled-sc-176xsi4-0 cgUnvG"><em>To find out more about Dr Gabriela Gutierrez Huerter O’s work,

The integrative review uncovers six key insights for businesses and insiders driving positive social change:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#1. Insider social change agents can emerge anywhere in the organization.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Organizations can support this by integrating sustainability and social change into all job functions. Would-be insiders can build on external pressures to initiate social change efforts, as well as existing company commitments to social and environmental issues.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#2. Emphasizing collaboration instead of heroism is central to effective social change efforts.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Organizations can foster this by encouraging insiders to work as facilitators and active members within networks. Insiders can contribute by building connections, fostering \"network contagion,\" and considering diverse perspectives in problem-solving and solution creation.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#3. Finding and sharing resources in communities is essential for insider social change agents to access the support they need.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Organizations can facilitate this by connecting insiders with communities of practice and platforms. Insiders can utilize these resources to share strategies, learn from failures, and inspire each other in their endeavors to drive positive social change within organizations.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#4. Every insider social change effort needs to make sense within the business, but transformative change requires novel takes on the business case. \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EOrganizations can support this by encouraging insiders to carefully align with the business case while maintaining a bold approach. Insiders can utilize their business acumen to seek opportunities for redefining the business case around making positive social change financially viable, while also seeking champions at higher levels to adjust organizational incentive structures and systems.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#5. Staying true to values is crucial for insider social change agents to maintain their effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Organizations can support this by fostering an environment where insiders can uphold their values without resorting to moralizing. Insiders can navigate ethical dilemmas by seeking motivation and support from like-minded peers while considering the potential risks associated with overlooking unethical behaviors.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#6. A focus on small victories can be a valuable strategy to tackle complex challenges incrementally, but connecting small wins can unlock broader change.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Organizations can support this by developing a clear strategic roadmap that outlines how small wins contribute to larger social and environmental goals.

Environmental costs versus rewards of AI systems\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOne key issue identified was the effective evaluation and assessment of AI systems. Measuring energy production with AI is relatively straightforward, but sustainability extends beyond just energy. For example, using AI to monitor biodiversity can generate large amounts of data and thus create environmental costs. This presents the challenge of balancing intangible benefits (e.g. biodiversity improvements) with tangible costs (e.g. data usage).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom this, a question emerges: How do organisations evaluate these trade-offs when making decisions?\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe group suggested the following:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ECreate dynamic models that factor in high environmental costs of AI, both for short and long-term insights and developments over time.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EDevelop simple tools using algorithms to help businesses, especially SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises), assess and balance different environmental impacts and issues.

The perception of data value\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOrganisations often collect more data than they need, overlooking the potential cost implications. This issue stems from perceiving data as a low-cost commodity.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIndeed, users commonly relinquish data to organisations without realizing its value, leading to overarching concerns about the fair use of data. So how is it possible to make consumers and firms think more critically about their data usage?\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe group discussion led to the following insights:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EPropose a control scorecard or system to help organisations evaluate risks associated with data collection, such as data leaks, environmental impact of gathering data, and inefficient use of human capital for unused data.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EEmphasise the environmental costs of unnecessary data. Use lifecycle assessments to make people aware that their digital activities, such as social media usage, are not neutral and have an environmental footprint.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIncrease visibility of the environmental impact of data, which could drive policy changes and urge organisations to manage their data responsibly.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3.

It is also important to consider the ethics of using AI to facilitate sustainable behaviours.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe group conceptualised the following insights on how AI can create and optimise sustainable solutions:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EDevelop robots for river waste collection and AI assistants offering personalised advice to users on sustainable behaviour.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EConduct studies on what people think of these systems and incorporate this feedback into the system design, whilst being considerate of privacy concerns and other inputs.

ten years on from the UK’s Modern Slavery Act, modern slavery remains a pressing issue. In the construction industry, where labour exploitation is a particular concern and major listed companies operate alongside small enterprises, the National Crime Agency (NCA) reported a shocking 53% rise in cases between 2021 and 2022. Factors such as Brexit, global conflicts, and climate-related migrations have left many migrant workers vulnerable to exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe limitations of the Modern Slavery Act\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Modern Slavery Act was hailed as a milestone moment in the UK’s battle against human trafficking, amalgamating previous laws and introducing new prevention and victim support strategies. But perhaps the only meaningful change in business practice that has resulted from it has been the routine publication of modern slavery statements.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe limits to the Act’s effectiveness reflect both how the problem of modern slavery was perceived and the compromises made during its drafting. The original proposals focused on the criminalisation of modern slavery, rather than imposing any obligations on business. Although it was eventually accepted that the Act must address the role of business in labour exploitation in their supply chains, lobbying by multinational companies and certain NGOs ensured that the most lenient possible approach was adopted and one that avoided any possible criminal penalties for companies.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWithout robust monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, organizations have been able to fulfil their statutory requirements with minimal accountability. My research has shown that both government and businesses have consistently portrayed modern slavery as a result of criminal activity that infiltrates businesses and an ‘inevitable’ feature of today’s economy. Through the use of impotent strategies they have denied any responsibility for modern slavery and overlooked the gaps in accountability inherent in the model of outsourcing and subcontracting.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEvolving perspectives, frameworks and legislation\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMore recently we have seen advocates from different industries, think tanks and professional bodies pushing for a re-evaluation of corporate ethics to demand that businesses take greater responsibility for the negative consequences of their business models.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis approach also informs the new British Standard 25700, for which I was a technical adviser. The Standard was introduced as a comprehensive framework for organizations of all sizes to tackle modern slavery risks. It is free to access for organisations of all sizes and provides detailed guidance on prevention, identification, and remediation strategies. The BS 25700 is set to be adopted into the new ISO 37200 by June 2026. This will make it the global standard by which businesses can benchmark and potentially certify the steps they take to address modern slavery throughout their supply chains.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAlongside the development of a voluntary framework, we are seeing a change in political attitudes. Internationally, there are growing calls for mandatory due diligence on modern slavery across Europe. The  (CSDDD) requires organizations to proactively identify and mitigate human rights violations in their supply chains. Countries including Germany, France and New Zealand, are strengthening their national legal frameworks to combat modern slavery, reflecting a global shift towards more stringent regulatory environments.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChange in the UK?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn response to growing dissatisfaction with the Modern Slavery Act, civil society and corporate stakeholders have rallied behind a Private Members Bill in the House of Lords. The proposed ‘Commercial Organisation and Public Authorities Duty’ (OPAD) Bill seeks to impose mandatory due diligence on businesses, addressing gaps in the current legislation. There have also been signals from the new Government that reforms to the Modern Slavery Act could be on the legislative agenda.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the construction sector, the Business Services Association, which represents organisations involved in service and infrastructure projects across the private and public sectors has issued its own toolkit focussed on its members’ particular needs and risks. The new Government’s goal to build 1.5 million homes in five years could also present an opportunity to use the levers of infrastructure development and procurement reforms to embed stronger anti-modern slavery measures in large-scale projects.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECoordinated action between government and industry has the potential to address modern slavery by dismantling the conditions that allow it to flourish. While there are encouraging signs of change, too many organisations still lack an understanding of how to address modern slavery risks effectively. If they want to show that they are serious about respecting human rights and combatting modern slavery, they will need to rise to higher expectations both in the UK and internationally.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E"},{"type":"postitNote","value":{"alignment":"Left","title":"Further reading","content":"\u003Cp\u003EGutierrez-Huerter O, G., Gold, S., & Trautrims, A.

book:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn recent years, companies have felt the pressure to be transparent about their environmental impact. Large documents containing summaries of yearly emissions rates, carbon output, and utilized resources are shared on companies’ social media pages, websites, and employee briefings in a bid for public confidence in corporate responsibility.\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003EAnd yet, Matthew Archer argues, these metrics are often just hollow symbols. \u003Cem\u003EUnsustainable\u003C\u002Fem\u003E contends with the world of big banks and multinational corporations, where sustainability begins and ends with measuring and reporting.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDrawing on five years of research among sustainability professionals in the US and Europe, \u003Cem\u003EUnsustainable\u003C\u002Fem\u003E shows how this depoliticizing tendency to frame sustainability as a technical issue enhances and obscures corporate power while doing little, if anything, to address the root causes of the climate crisis and issues of social inequality. Through this obsession with metrics and indicators, the adage that you can’t manage what you can’t measure transforms into a belief that once you’ve measured social and environmental impacts, the market will simply manage them for you.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFind out more:

Or perhaps the local manager, under pressure to achieve ambitious financial targets, convinced themself to ignore their suspicions. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.businessinsider.com\u002Fhow-nike-solved-its-sweatshop-problem-2013-5?r=US&IR=T\"\u003ENike\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nytimes.com\u002F2018\u002F06\u002F11\u002Fbusiness\u002Fdealbook\u002Ffoxconn-worker-conditions.html\"\u003EApple\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmoney.cnn.com\u002F2016\u002F05\u002F31\u002Fnews\u002Fcompanies\u002Fwalmart-gap-hm-garment-workers-asia\u002Findex.html\"\u003EWalmart\u003C\u002Fa\u003E can all testify to the complexity of these issues.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELost in translation\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe institutional, cultural and linguistic variations across a multinational firm can also pose a challenge.

From US import bans on goods made with forced labour, to the EU’s corporate sustainability due diligence directive, to the UK’s redrafting of public procurement laws and introduction of a new Modern Slavery Bill in the Queen’s Speech, commercial organisations will be required to adopt positive measures to identify and minimise potential human rights violations in their supply chains.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis is a substantial game changer in comparison to existing legislation that mainly required commercial organisations to disclose the steps that they are taking or not taken to address modern slavery.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAttention to the contemporary issue of modern slavery emerged as part of a series of developments in both international and UK domestic policy including the 2015 Modern Slavery Act (MSA). Today, the term has become ubiquitous in debates around extreme forms of labour exploitation. Section 54 of the UK MSA had the intent to facilitate public scrutiny of business statements on modern slavery by civil society, investors and consumers and create ‘a level playing field’ for businesses and drive a ‘race to the top’ in terms of respecting human rights.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, corporate reported progress to date shows a lack of substantive action being taken on modern slavery with most sectors still grappling with the development of effective solutions.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EResearch conducted by Dr Gabriela Gutierrez, Lecturer in International Management at Kings Business School, Kings College London investigated the construction industry’s response around modern slavery ahead of and after the introduction of the 2015 MSA to identify why no collective solutions to modern slavery had emerged.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDr Gutierrez found that the mobilisation of specific views of modern slavery inhibited the emergence of common actionable frameworks to deal with the issue.

ten years on from the UK’s Modern Slavery Act, modern slavery remains a pressing issue. In the construction industry, where labour exploitation is a particular concern and major listed companies operate alongside small enterprises, the National Crime Agency (NCA) reported a shocking 53% rise in cases between 2021 and 2022. Factors such as Brexit, global conflicts, and climate-related migrations have left many migrant workers vulnerable to exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe limitations of the Modern Slavery Act\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Modern Slavery Act was hailed as a milestone moment in the UK’s battle against human trafficking, amalgamating previous laws and introducing new prevention and victim support strategies. But perhaps the only meaningful change in business practice that has resulted from it has been the routine publication of modern slavery statements.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe limits to the Act’s effectiveness reflect both how the problem of modern slavery was perceived and the compromises made during its drafting. The original proposals focused on the criminalisation of modern slavery, rather than imposing any obligations on business. Although it was eventually accepted that the Act must address the role of business in labour exploitation in their supply chains, lobbying by multinational companies and certain NGOs ensured that the most lenient possible approach was adopted and one that avoided any possible criminal penalties for companies.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWithout robust monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, organizations have been able to fulfil their statutory requirements with minimal accountability. My research has shown that both government and businesses have consistently portrayed modern slavery as a result of criminal activity that infiltrates businesses and an ‘inevitable’ feature of today’s economy. Through the use of impotent strategies they have denied any responsibility for modern slavery and overlooked the gaps in accountability inherent in the model of outsourcing and subcontracting.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEvolving perspectives, frameworks and legislation\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMore recently we have seen advocates from different industries, think tanks and professional bodies pushing for a re-evaluation of corporate ethics to demand that businesses take greater responsibility for the negative consequences of their business models.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis approach also informs the new British Standard 25700, for which I was a technical adviser. The Standard was introduced as a comprehensive framework for organizations of all sizes to tackle modern slavery risks. It is free to access for organisations of all sizes and provides detailed guidance on prevention, identification, and remediation strategies. The BS 25700 is set to be adopted into the new ISO 37200 by June 2026. This will make it the global standard by which businesses can benchmark and potentially certify the steps they take to address modern slavery throughout their supply chains.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAlongside the development of a voluntary framework, we are seeing a change in political attitudes. Internationally, there are growing calls for mandatory due diligence on modern slavery across Europe. The  (CSDDD) requires organizations to proactively identify and mitigate human rights violations in their supply chains. Countries including Germany, France and New Zealand, are strengthening their national legal frameworks to combat modern slavery, reflecting a global shift towards more stringent regulatory environments.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChange in the UK?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn response to growing dissatisfaction with the Modern Slavery Act, civil society and corporate stakeholders have rallied behind a Private Members Bill in the House of Lords. The proposed ‘Commercial Organisation and Public Authorities Duty’ (OPAD) Bill seeks to impose mandatory due diligence on businesses, addressing gaps in the current legislation. There have also been signals from the new Government that reforms to the Modern Slavery Act could be on the legislative agenda.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the construction sector, the Business Services Association, which represents organisations involved in service and infrastructure projects across the private and public sectors has issued its own toolkit focussed on its members’ particular needs and risks. The new Government’s goal to build 1.5 million homes in five years could also present an opportunity to use the levers of infrastructure development and procurement reforms to embed stronger anti-modern slavery measures in large-scale projects.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECoordinated action between government and industry has the potential to address modern slavery by dismantling the conditions that allow it to flourish. While there are encouraging signs of change, too many organisations still lack an understanding of how to address modern slavery risks effectively.

environment is changing. The new government has pledged to improve workers’ rights and to tackle the business model of human trafficking who often are victims of modern slavery.

These are game changer news for UK businesses.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Transparency in Supply Chains (TISC) provision in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 has had limited impact on organisational behaviour within the UK.
