Modern slavery legislation has now been adopted in multiple countries, with additional broader legislation expected from various European states. For multi-national companies, this requires compliance with each individual piece of legislation.
There is no doubt that legislation can act as a catalyst for change. The risk is that business can get bogged down in compliance. Time and money is often spent excessively adhering to strict operating and reporting procedures. Time and money that could be spent implementing programs and driving positive impact throughout supply chains. It is therefore essential that global companies understand what compliance requires, and how to do so in a cost and time efficient manner.
In this session, we’ll take a comprehensive look at the current legislation in place across jurisdictions and assess the implications of emerging legislation on a global business. We’ll discuss:
What can a multi-national business do to ensure efficient, comprehensive compliance?
How will current and emerging legislation tie together, and how will this affect your business and operations?
How much will global compliance cost?
Where is the EU on modern slavery? Still out to lunch?
How close are we (or how far) from prosecutions or fines for company officers?
