Modern Slavery in Supply Chains

March 1, 2018 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am

Join the 2030hub, supply chain experts Fifty Eight (www.50eight.com) and leading local and global businesses in an interactive workshop and Q&A exploring the private sector’s responsibilities and best practice tackling modern slavery in supply chains.

Do you think your business is risk free? British government estimates that the number of victims of modern slavery in the UK is in the tens of thousands.

Your customers care, especially if your market is digitally savvy millennials. Are you prepared to be on the wrong end of a modern slavery social media frenzy?

Did you know the 2015 UK Modern Slavery Act, requires all companies with operations in the UK and turnovers of more the £36 million a year to publish an annual statement on what steps they have taken to ensure modern slavery is not happening in their supply chains? This might not be the revenue threshold for your business, but it could be for larger buyers wanting your products or services.

Presenters include:

Tom Smith – Director for Strategy, Responsible Sourcing for Walmart

David Connor – Founder at 2030hub

Quintin Lake – Director at Fifty Eight

Phillip Clayton – Regional Manager at City Hearts UK

Carly Bilsbrough – Global Responsible Sourcing Manager, Shop Direct
