Summary

This publication of the Walk Free Foundation “Tackling Modern Slavery in Supply Chains: A Guide” outlines step-by-step what companies can and must do to eliminate slavery from their business. The guide provides practical guidance and tools that businesses, governments, organisations and non-profits can start implementing immediately.

The Guide is intended to be used by organisations who want concrete guidance on how to reduce or eliminate risk of modern slavery occurring in their supply chains, either as direct or indirect result of their procurement practices. It’s relevant to all governments and any other organisation wishing to tackle slavery in their supply chains.

The Guide is divided into five chapters and accompanied by a set of tools that will help organisations tackle slavery in their supply chains.
