Large companies are now increasingly held responsible, both legally and reputationally, for modern slavery, forced labor, trafficking and human rights abuses that occur within their supply chains. Suppliers sometimes “get away with it,” losing contracts, at most. So, should you build legal risk for your bigger suppliers into your agreements and contracts with them? Some see this as controversial, others, as effective risk management and as incentivizing suppliers to really do their own due diligence. In this debate format, we’ll discuss the pros and cons.
