Consumer Goods Forum invite responses to survey on modern slavery to help inform industry's approach

Last month, the consumer goods industry launched a new workstream to fight forced labour across global supply chains. Approved by The Consumer Goods Forum's Board of Directors, an ambitious new resolution has served as both a rallying call to our industry and a clear signal that the consumer goods industry sees this as one of the most pressing social issues of our time.

Within the announcement our members agreed to look at which geographies, commodities and areas were of most concern. This could cover the fishing industry in Asia, tomato pickers is Spain or migrant labour in North America. And, as part of this process, we’d like to hear your thoughts on these topics. This is your chance to have your say and to help direct the future of the industry’s fight against forced labour.

We have, therefore, prepared a short three-question survey that is open to all who are interested. This will be quick and totally confidential. We will compile, analyse and aggregate the results, but individual responses will not be shared publicly. We’d like you to be as honest and open as you feel comfortable with. This is a unique chance for you to help influence an entire industry. However, be quick. The deadline is 29th February 2016.

As always, we appreciate your support and look forward to seeing the results around what and where our industry’s focus will be to help eradicate forced labour from global supply chains.
