Panel Discussion: Practical Steps to Identify, Mitigate and Remediate Modern Slavery Risk

With the first MSA reporting deadline passed, it’s timely to review how organisations have gone and see what we can learn from the first round of reporting as we prepare for year two.

Norton Rose Fulbright Partner, Abigail McGregor participates in a webinar hosted by ethiXbase exploring the practical steps to identify, mitigate and remediate modern slavery risk, please see the invitation below.

The Australian Modern Slavery Act (the Act) was passed on the 29 November 2018 and the reporting requirements came into force as of 1 January 2019. The Act requires companies (with annual revenue exceeding AUD 100 million) to publish annual statements defining what they are doing to prevent slavery in their supply chains and operations.

Many businesses operating in Australia and beyond have now submitted their first Modern Slavery Statements, providing a picture of how the risk is being identified.

Listen to this panel discussion to get first-hand insights on:

• The practical steps you should take to understand the impact of modern slavery risk within your supply chain.
• What to do when risk is identified and how to mitigate or remediate it.
• Signs to watch out for, especially if you have a small risk and compliance team in place.
• How to get organisational buy-in and create sustainable change.
• How to measure the effectiveness of your modern slavery program.
