Modern slavery has been in our blind spot. Not any more.

Positive momentum is building around the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act (2018), which means you have the opportunity to demand change in your supply chain.

Now you know more about modern slavery, you can choose. Your actions can make a difference.

If we’re going to do this together, you need to be ALL IN. 

You need to be committed to a deep dive and be prepared to find some ugly things happening in your supply chain. 

It’s not going to be comfortable. But it is going to be worth it.

That’s because people’s lives are at stake. (No, that’s not an exaggeration).

And when (not if) you uncover issues of modern slavery in your supply chain, you can be part of the solution. But if you don’t look for the risks, you’re part of the problem.

This your chance to protect vulnerable people:

  • End unsafe working conditions

  • Protect people’s health with appropriate safety equipment

  • Pay manufacturing workers a living wage

  • Prevent child labour

In other words, this process makes a massive change to people’s health, safety and income. It’s literally changing lives, one supplier at a time.


Become a leader in ethical procurement

More businesses are expecting - and specifying - ethical procurement in their interior fit outs. They want to do their bit to protect vulnerable people and the environment.

This means your customers are already demanding change from you, and you need to demand change from your suppliers. Keep applying pressure, down the line.

Interestingly, we’ve seen our past clients who have modern slavery statements in place are winning more tenders. 

We see daily evidence that ethical procurement is good for a company’s reputation. 

So it turns out, doing good is good for business too.
