In this article, our team provides practical supply chain management insights and case studies in relation to the Modern Slavery Act 2018 Draft Guidance for Reporting Entities Appendix 2 ‘How to work with suppliers?’. Case studies include Intel, British Land, Colgate, Migros, the French Government, Nestle or Rio Tinto.

Organisations are expected to:

  • Identify and assess modern slavery risks in operations and procurement
  • Strengthen supplier due diligence processes
  • Embed modern slavery risk management into contracts and performance reviews
  • Provide training and awareness across procurement and leadership teams

Modern slavery guidance is not simply about compliance reporting. It is about demonstrating how risks are identified, managed, and reduced over time.

For practical examples of how this guidance can be implemented in real supplier relationships, read our detailed article on Modern Slavery Act 2018 Draft Guidance – Additional Real-Life Examples on Supplier Management.
