Exclusively for CEDA members, join CEDA’s ESG Community of Best Practice for a timely forum on modern slavery risks and Australia’s evolving regulatory landscape.

The session will provide an update on proposed legislative reforms and explore the practical challenges organisations face in identifying modern slavery risks, strengthening supply-chain due diligence and moving from compliance-based reporting to meaningful action. Participants will hear expert insights on what the changes could mean for governance, procurement, risk management and corporate accountability.

The session will provide an update on proposed Australian legislative reforms and explore the practical challenges organisations face in identifying modern slavery risks, strengthening supply-chain due diligence and moving beyond compliance-based reporting. Participants will hear expert insights on what these developments could mean for governance, procurement, risk management and corporate accountability, as well as hear practical approaches to supplier engagement, traceability and remediation.
