A propos de cet article

Neuware - Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 contains language that permits UK companies who are subject to the UK Modern Slavery Act, to some degree, to apply a risk-based approach to their anti-modern slavery programmes. This book aims to provide a clear understanding of what this type of risk-based approach involves. The analytical approach adopted by this book ensures that readers will achieve the following: i. Identify modern slavery and human rights risks where they have operations or supply chain(s). ii. Assess the potential modern slavery and human rights risks of their supply chains. iii. Determine how modern slavery and human rights issues can best be remediated or mitigated through measures such as training and awareness, whistle-blowing mechanisms, and industry collaboration, or improved internal purchasing practices. iv. Measure the effectiveness of risk control measures. Internationally, this book would be the first comprehensive book on the assessment and mitigation of modern slavery and human rights risk(s) within the global supply chain infrastructure. This book would help commercial organisations and business enterprises with any problem regarding the application of the risk-based approach. Business enterprises that implement the risk-based approach, in line with the guidance given in this book, will be well-placed to avoid the consequences of inappropriate de-risking behaviour. Although there are quite a number of reference guides provided by the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Kingdom Home Office, and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) to assist firms with the implementation of the risk-based approach, those publications focus mainly on the risk assessment principles. This book is particularly focused on both the principles and the practical aspect of its application. This book is a must read for every professional specializing in the field of risk management and supply chains. It is also a must read for every individual who intends to know more about risk mitigation measures for modern slavery and human rights issues.
