The UK’s Modern Slavery Act...is a critical step forwards in strengthening company disclosure on efforts to prevent some of the most serious abuses that exist in today’s global supply chains...However, the Act has raised questions for many UK companies about the relationship between its provisions...and their broader responsibility to respect human rights. What exactly are they being asked to report on relating to modern slavery?
