Description | The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) and Ashridge Centre for Business and Sustainability at Hult International Business School partnered to lead the research into company perspectives and responses to the risks of modern slavery in their global supply chains — against a backdrop of increasing global human rights legislation and reporting requirements. The report reflects an overview of current practice in the companies who volunteered to participate in a survey. It is not a guide for good practice, nor an assessment of companies’ readiness or capacity to meet the requirements of new legislation. Instead, it draws on valuable insights from a group of companies that are likely to be further along in their thinking and practice than others. |

Name of Resource | Corporate Compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 |
Type | Report/analysis |
Country / jurisdiction | United States of America |
Organization | Development International |
Date of publishing | 2 November 2015 |
Description | The study focuses on the first disclosure law addressing human trafficking and slavery within the global marketplace – the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (CA-TISCA). CA-TISCA requires human trafficking and slavery-pertinent disclosure statements from large corporate earners operating in the state. The degree of corporate disclosure compliance with CA-TISCA was systematically evaluated by individually assessing qualifying companies’ statements as disclosed against eight compliance criteria based on the law’s core requirements, resulting in a compliance score, and seven indicators regarding affirmative conduct, yielding an affirmative score. The study reveals that, overall, compliance performance greatly varies between companies. The average disclosure compliance score was 60%. Forty-one (41%) percent of companies were found to have a corporate disclosure score on or above the 70% mark. |
