UK efforts to tackle modern slavery are waning, analysis finds

Number of firms disclosing anti-slavery measures within supply chains has nearly halved, says Cips

Efforts to tackle modern day slavery are stalling with nearly half the number of companies disclosing anti-slavery measures within their supply chains, according to the international procurement body.

Only 29% of organisations required to produce a modern slavery statement have submitted it to the UK government registry for 2022, an analysis by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (Cips) found.
