Modern Slavery Act of 2015
Assess supply chain partner labor practices
The Modern Slavery Act of 2015 is a UK law that requires organizations to publicly communicate their practices to ensure that forced labor, human trafficking, and other forms of involuntary servitude are not taking place in their businesses or supply chains. The "Transparency in Supply Chains" section of the Act (Part 6, Section 54) defines what form this should take for third-party relationships.
Prevalent helps organizations apply a rigorous level of due diligence to suppliers by determining if a public statement exists, and by validating policies and processes through Modern Slavery risk assessments and continuous external monitoring of their real-world practices. Armed with these insights, organizations improve their visibility into their supply chain partners' labor practices, reducing the risk of reputational damage.
