Description | This report explores how central government’s top contractors are facing the challenge of identifying and addressing modern slavery. It analyses the modern slavery reporting performance of the top 100 suppliers to central government, ranked by the value of contracts won by them in 2017. It goes on to set out the business case for companies to do more to eliminate modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, providing guidance to business on where, how, and why they should be taking effective action to manage modern slavery risk. It also touches upon the role of central government in incentivizing better performance by businesses. Analysis of performance was guided by the legal compliance of each modern slavery statement, and the degree to which the statement responded to the six suggested reporting areas as outlined in the Modern Slavery Act (MSA) itself. An overarching trend was the wide variance in both legal compliance and quality of published statements. |
