SUPPORTING COMPLIANCE WITH THE
UK MODERN SLAVERY ACT

Developed in conjunction with the Home Office, the Modern Slavery Assessment enables online supply chain analysis and reporting.

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates over 20 million people around the world are victims of slavery. To tackle this evil, increasing the accountability for and scrutiny of supply chains is vital.

NQC's Modern Slavery Assessment helps businesses to be transparent about their supply chains, providing a framework and guidance for good practice. In line with the recent and world-leading UK Modern Slavery Act, the Assessment measures compliance in global supply chains and encourages businesses to recognise and tackle this difficult issue; not just because they are legally obliged to, but also because they recognise it is the right thing to do.

AUTOMATED MODERN SLAVERY REPORTING AND RISK ALERTS

NQC technology enables visibility of gaps in policy and practice that threaten corporate responsibility performance.

The Modern Slavery Assessment is divided into sections covering the key themes highlighted by the Modern Slavery Act's 'transparency in supply chains' provision.

By responding to the assessment questions, organisations can record their policies and activities designed to tackle slavery. Using a common framework featuring guidance on best practice, the assessment also helps to identify gaps in supply chain policy and practice, enabling organisations to target improvement in these relevant areas.

MEET MODERN SLAVERY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROTECT YOUR BRAND

NQC's Modern Slavery Assessment enables businesses to push good practice down multiple supply chain tiers and produce comprehensive corporate reporting.

The Modern Slavery Assessment can help your organisation to prepare a modern slavery statement, which you must publish if you conduct business in the UK and have an annual turnover of £36 million or more. Alternatively, analysis can support voluntary corporate responsibility reporting.

A focus on tackling modern slavery not only protects vulnerable workers and helps prevent and remedy severe human rights violations, it can bring a number of business benefits too. These include protecting and enhancing an organisation’s reputation and brand, and developing more responsive, stable and innovative supply chains.
