Human Trafficking & Slavery
Modern Slavery Due Diligence and Reporting
Modern slavery legislation is expanding globally. The UK Modern Slavery Act, the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) are creating overlapping obligations for companies to assess forced labor risks, conduct supply chain due diligence, and publish transparency statements. The 3TGs helps you build a defensible program that addresses these legal obligations and customer expectations.
