With approximately 18% of modern slavery victims being found in the construction industry, the ILO ranks construction as the sector with the second-highest proportion of victims of forced labour worldwide.
Risk factors for the construction sector include the reliance on base-skill workforce, prevalence of irregular work, low-tier suppliers in high-risk geographies, high-risk business models and the lack of transparency in supply chains.
The procurement of essentials materials in construction involves highly complex multi-tiered supply chains, resulting in limited visibility and transparency of modern slavery risks for companies.
Collaboration within sectors can radically increase transparency across supply chains, rendering the due diligence process more cost-effective and insightful for all parties involved.
