Modern Slavery and Supply Chain Reporting for Business

Modern Slavery and Supply Chain Reporting for Business addresses the forthcoming reporting requirements that will affect approximately 3000 Australian businesses in relation to the occurence of modern slavery in their supply chains.

The Modern Slavery Bill 2018 (Cth), currently before Federal Parliament, mandates that businesses of a particular size must report on the steps they are taking to ensure modern slavery is not occuring in their own operations and their supply chains. This reporting requirement includes the production of statements that must be signed at board level and will be publicly available on a central register.
