Hearing directly from survivors is critical to understanding how a country is doing in tackling modern slavery.
I was pleased to support engagements by U.S. State Dept. Trafficking in Persons Office with people with varying lived experiences of modern slavery in New South Wales.
Looking forward to speaking about how managing #modernslavery risks can help Australian investors unlock value - and improve outcomes for people.
Modern slavery is an abuse of human rights, and poses serious reputational, financial and legal risks for companies and communities. Secure your seat for James Cockayne’s Address at the 2023 Phil Spathis lunch on 16 October.
