Description from Event Program: Not long ago, many in the business community viewed ensuring a supply chain free from the taint of ‘‘forced labor’’—an umbrella term that includes trafficked, child, slave and indentured labor—as primarily a “PR/marketing” concern.

This presentation will cover both the history and present-day reality of landmark laws and regulations passed (and pending) in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere focused on recruiting—or, perhaps more accurately, conscripting—the business community into the global effort to rid supply chains of forced labor.
