Following on the previous two highly acclaimed Modern Slavery and Ethical Labour in Construction Leadership Symposia, held in November 2016 and October 2017, the 3rd annual symposium, ‘Eradicating Modern Slavery: How Good Governance Demonstrates Leadership and Mitigates Risk’, will take place on 27 September 2018 at Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), 66 Portland Place, London W1B.
The 3rd annual 2018 Symposium draws together the corporate leaders, professional institutions and membership associations, and public and third sector advocates who are driving the agenda to raise awareness to eradicate modern slavery and labour exploitation in UK direct business operations and global supply chains.
This construction industry leading, high profile event takes an intelligence led, supply chain approach to demonstrate, through knowledge contributions and case study interventions, how the leading companies and organisations are driving best practice to exceed the Modern Slavery Act (2015) compliance requirements. In doing so, they mitigate their risks, demonstrate robust and responsible governance, provide professional guidance, enhance their reputations, improve efficiencies, and create competitive advantage.
The Modern Slavery and Ethical Labour in Construction Leadership Symposium is being delivered by BRE, a UK-headquartered world leading built environment research & science centre, and strategic communications business Sustain Worldwide, to demonstrate construction sector supply chain leadership. The symposium, and 2018 programme of activities, significantly contributes to our industry to ensure we are ready to meet the social and economic challenges wrought by modern slavery, human trafficking and labour exploitation.
Why attend:
Delegates will learn the practical measures leading companies and organisations in our sector are undertaking to map and monitor their supply chains, and remediate where they discover evidence of illegal and unethical practices.
Who should attend
The symposium is aimed at C-suite construction sector professionals to understand the requirements, challenges, risks, responses and opportunities the modern slavery and ethical labour agenda presents.
