Mod­ern Slavery: a key ele­ment of the ‘S’ in ESG
Re­cent head­lines re­lat­ing to the ab­use of mi­grant care work­ers and the use of slave la­bour in the pro­duc­tion of PPE are some ex­amples of how the Life sci­ences & Health­care sec­tor is at risk of mod­ern slavery is­sues. The key ex­pos­ure for busi­nesses is cur­rently repu­ta­tion­al dam­age but plans by the gov­ern­ment to tight­en the rules on the con­tent of mod­ern slavery state­ments, the pro­posed cre­ation of a new en­force­ment re­gime and in­creas­ing le­gis­la­tion re­lat­ing to hu­man rights re­port­ing, are push­ing this is­sue up the agenda. In this art­icle we con­sider the cur­rent status of the law on mod­ern slavery and what is com­ing down the track for Life Sci­ences & Health­care com­pan­ies to be aware of.
