Modern slavery and labor rights violations persist in global supply chains, demanding continued efforts to combat these practices. With millions of people affected, urgent action is required. Ethixbase360’s annual e-book provides insights into the human rights landscape, global legislation, and proactive strategies to address modern slavery.
The e-book highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility and the economic impact of the pandemic in shaping long-term value creation. Recent scandals, such as the exploitation of workers in Kenyan tea farms and child labor in U.S. meat processing plants, underscore the consequences of noncompliance. Reports of labor rights abuses in various countries further emphasize the urgent need for action.
The root causes of modern slavery are multifaceted, including gaps in legislation, enforcement, and access to justice; socioeconomic pressures faced by individuals and workers; and business conduct and the overall environment.
