Australia’s Modern Slavery Act has reshaped expectations of how companies identify, assess, and report on human rights risks in their operations and supply chains. With regulators, investors, and civil society demanding greater transparency, businesses face growing pressure to move beyond compliance reporting and demonstrate meaningful action.
This webinar will explore the current state of modern slavery and human rights regulation in Australia, including:
Key requirements under the Modern Slavery Act and the Strategic Plan recently launched by the Australian Anti-slavery Commissioner
How companies are integrating human rights due diligence into risk management frameworks
Practical approaches for engaging suppliers, addressing high-risk sectors, collaboration and improving reporting quality
- What to expect from future reforms, their likely timing and how they align with global developments in ESG and human rights law
Join us to gain practical insights into strengthening your organisation’s human rights and modern slavery compliance while building more resilient, transparent supply chains.
