A new briefing by Sedex Global and Verite has found that it is possible to remove modern-day slavery from global supply chains, but
only if global companies contribute to greater transparency and collaboration, according to the IPS News Agency.
The
briefing
outlines modern-day slavery statistics and highlights issues such as
“broker-induced hiring traps” that had not been addressed sufficiently before.
The briefing also emphasizes the risks businesses face with regard to
modern-day slavery and provides recommendations for brands and suppliers to
engage in ethical practices in supply chains.
