Kevin Hyland OBE, Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner

Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner writes to all UK-based UN Global Compact signatories urging transparency statements demonstrating a proactive approach to combating slavery

As Commissioner, I expect all businesses to produce modern slavery reports that are accurate, transparent and demonstrate a proactive approach to ensuring that slavery does not exist in their supply chain, and if it has been identified what remedies have been put in place. The purpose of this measure is to drive up standards in labour markets and supply chains both in the UK and internationally.
