Modern Slavery Statement
The Modern Slavery Act: Taking Action Against Modern Slavery
The Modern Slavery Act stands as a groundbreaking legislation that addresses the pressing issue of modern slavery and human trafficking in the United Kingdom. With its comprehensive set of measures, the Act establishes guidelines for combatting these heinous crimes. While not all aspects of the Act directly pertain to businesses, the pivotal section 54, titled ‘Transparency in supply chains,’ places obligations on the corporate sector. This section mandates that many businesses disclose a ‘slavery and human trafficking statement.’
