This event will address the impact of the Transparency of Supply Chain legislation in its first couple of years since the 2015 legislation inaugurated its presence and required designated businesses to be able to report. Although gaining traction only a minority of affected companies are still able to demonstrate responsible management of their supply chains.
We have gathered a number of high-level speakers drawn from the world of Business, Political leadership, Human Trafficking and Faith inspired organisations. The evening will focus on what has currently been achieved, what is now being addressed in up-coming UK side legislation and where are the significant areas for ongoing policy and business settlement in addressing the global travesty of millions of people caught in exploitation, Human Trafficking and Modern Slave like conditions of work.
We very much look forward to welcoming you, your colleagues and friends to an evening where the long march of history in addressing enslavement, inequalities, and exploitation, will be in sharp business and practical focus.
Speakers will include:
Baroness Young – Sponsor of the Modern Slavery in Supply Chains Bill 2017-2019
Mike Dottridge – trustee of the UN Slavery Fund and lead advocate on the Best Interests of the Child
Aidan McQuade – Former CEO of the Anti Slavery Foundation
Revd Dr Carrie Pemberton Ford – Director of Cambridge Centre for Applied Research in Human Trafficking (CCARHT)
Professor Simon Stockley – Cambridge Judge Business School
Natalie Evans – Responsible Procurement City of London
And a range of Industry Supply Chain Specialists
