Summary
"Modern slavery” is an umbrella term used to describe an array of related criminal practices, including human trafficking, forced and compulsory labor, bonded labor, and sexual or criminal exploitation, among others. In general, in these situations, one person is in a position of extreme power and acts as an “owner” of another person. It’s estimated that some 46 million people — about 0.5% of the global population — today suffer under some form of modern slavery.
Firms with long, complex supply chains may be unaware that slavery exists several stages away from their “visible” supply chain. Even firms with high-tech supply chains may find that raw materials are sourced from areas with a high risk of forced labor practices. And the financial, insurance and accounting industries may commonly recruit or retain — either directly or through a third party — lower-skilled and lower-paid workers to provide construction, janitorial, catering, call center or other services.
