There has been significant progress in relation to the requirements for companies to ensure mandatory reporting and greater transparency in supply chains. The UK Modern Slavery Act, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and the new French Vigilance Law represent welcome developments in this area. The Fashion industry is particularly at risk. Despite growing awareness and legal developments, the International Labour Organisation estimated that approximately 40 million people were victims of Modern Slavery in 2016, with one in four of those victims being children. Are we doing enough? Although there has been progress in certain jurisdictions, legislation with effective sanctions as a deterrent to modern slavery practices is by no means uniformly applied worldwide. What are the incentives for companies to work to eliminate the scourge of Modern Slavery within their supply chains? Are economic sanctions and reputational risk sufficient? What is the role of the lawyer in such situations? Are lawyers to act as the conscience of the organisations they advise? Is there a need to plug the gap between mere compliance and effectiveness in doing the right thing?
