The objective of this report is to provide a snapshot of the company Slavery and Human Trafficking Statements published in compliance with the TISC clause. Focus on companies that produce or provide products and services which reach a large number of customers and/or other businesses, and complement the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre’s analysis of FTSE 100 statements by looking at smaller companies, those listed on other exchanges and private firms.
The report’s focus is companies who source raw materials associated with a heightened risk of modern slavery – tea from Assam, cocoa from West Africa – and companies operating in sectors that are widely recognized as being at heightened risk: garment production and others. The report looks at 50 companies’ Slavery and Human Trafficking statements.
