Corporate approaches to addressing modern slavery in supply chains

Research that our Director Quintin Lake led as a research fellow at Hult International Business School, together with the Ethical Trading Initiative. 

A snapshot of corporate practice in addressing modern slavery at the time the UK Modern Slavery Act was introduced. Research focused on the drivers for companies addressing modern slavery ahead of the UK Act, and emerging good practice.
