"Modern slavery in company operations & supply chains", a review of current legislations towards an intl. framework

It draws from this experience to set out how these uncoordinated actions could become a robust, and harmonised international standard for national legislations.

Acting together, governments would also avoid a ‘spaghetti soup’ of incoherent national legislations, and instead create the international predictability that global business seeks.
