How can we ensure modern slavery is not the price of rapid decarbonisation? I’m working with Clean Energy Council to develop a code of practice. More below, Discussion Paper here: dcj.nsw.gov.au/documents/lega… #JustTransition

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. bit.ly/47j8x8a #PhilSpathis James Cockayne

Looking forward to speaking about how managing #modernslavery risks can help Australian investors unlock value - and improve outcomes for people.

Hearing directly from survivors is critical to understanding how a country is doing in tackling modern slavery. I was pleased to support engagements by @JTIP_State⁩ with people with varying lived experiences of modern slavery in New South Wales.

[Post in a personal capacity] I was proud to start the day marching for YES for a Voice on the land of the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung nation. Everyone in our beautiful country is better off when those affected by laws and policies have a voice in shaping them.

Pleasure speaking with James Cockayne, discussing the current landscape of sustainability and modern slavery work and exploring opportunities for collaboration. Businesses must ensure ethical practices are embedded in every part of their operations.
