Taking place in London on 28 April, this year’s ceremony comes at a time when the fallout from the pandemic, increasing international conflicts and climate change is leaving many more people at risk of slavery and trafficking, putting unprecedented pressure on companies to combat exploitative labour practices. Now in its sixth year, the ceremony will reveal the winners of the six categories, recognising the vital work of grassroots organisations, journalists, solutions-focused innovators and cross-sector collaborators, as well as businesses that are rooting out forced labour from their supply chains. The Award ceremony will also host leading anti-slavery experts for a panel discussion on ‘Using human rights due diligence to combat modern slavery’, which has gained renewed attention, with companies facing increasing mandatory regulation and ESG reporting obligations. Together, the panellists will share the corporate perspective on tackling worker exploitation, the unique experience of working with survivors and the need to develop policy solutions to end modern slavery.
