A modern slavery statement is a public report in which a company explains the steps it has taken to identify and address the risk of forced labor, human trafficking and other modern slavery in its operations and supply chains.
A modern slavery statement is an annual public disclosure describing what a company has done to assess and address risks of modern slavery, including forced labor, debt bondage, human trafficking and child labor, in its business and supply chains. Laws in several countries require large companies to publish one.
A facilities services company identified high risk among labor-hire cleaners and security staff. Its statement described how it checked recruitment fees, verified that workers held their own identity documents, included labor rights in contractor pre-qualification and set up a confidential hotline.
Requirements vary, but statements usually need board approval and signature by a director.
Recruitment fees, withheld identity documents, unpaid wages, excessive overtime, restricted movement and unsafe living conditions.
Severe safety failures, such as locked exits or no protective equipment, often appear alongside labor exploitation.
