As an expert solution provider, Unchained Solutions enables organisations to make a meaningful contribution to ending the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking through compliance with human rights due diligence legislation and directives.
This includes the Modern Slavery Acts in Australia and United Kingdom as well as forced labour and child labour due diligence legislation in Canada, France, Netherlands, the State of California and the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
Making an impact on modern slavery and human trafficking starts with a solid foundation, awareness training, a robust policy portfolio, a reporting mechanism, and an understanding of your exposure to risk among your direct suppliers, distributors and wholesalers.
We understand your business needs and will help you consider what due diligence looks like to your business and value-chain.
Unchained Anti-slavery Setup Solution comprises key components of our Strategic Solutions to help organisations of any size and industry to set the right foundation for future human rights due diligence. It comprises five key components:
Workshops for leadership to understand and engage in human rights due diligence.
Comprehensive assessment and planning for enhanced due diligence compliance.
Evaluation of supply chain risks using detailed supplier mapping and assessments.
Interactive training modules on human rights and modern slavery awareness.
Unchained’s Executive Roundtable enables an organisation’s board of directors and senior executives to understand their reporting obligations under the relevant human rights due diligence directive or legislation that is relevant to their organisation, which may be many for multinationals.
Through an in-person or online workshop, the Unchained team will present on the issue of business and human rights, including modern slavery and human trafficking, and explore the role of senior leadership in governance, risk management, and effective monitoring and reporting.
The Roundtable will also include the importance of executive sponsorship and resource allocation over the long-term for effective due diligence.
Finally, the Unchained team will outline a 1–3-year action roadmap for continuous improvement and facilitate a discussion on how directors and executives can support their organisation in making a long-term social impact.
Unchained’s Strategic Framework Review Report and Action Roadmap solution is designed to assess an organisation’s level of engagement and maturity with the business and human rights due diligence directives and legislation such as the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth).
Our Strategic Framework Review is a comprehensive desk-based investigation of an organisation’s overall governance and risk management framework to determine key gaps, challenges, and opportunities for human rights due diligence.
Documents reviewed include human rights and modern slavery statements, policy portfolio, risk assessment data, and other relevant documents on stakeholder engagement and management throughout the value-chain.
Following our analysis, Unchained will provide their insights and recommendations in a written report to ensure a consistent focus in the organisation’s response to human rights, modern slavery, and human trafficking risk.
Included in this report is a 1-3-year Action Roadmap for continuous improvement in human rights due diligence.
Human Rights Due Diligence in supply chain legislation including the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) expect organisations to have a clear understanding of where the risks of forced labour and child labour may lie in their entire value chain. With our risk assessment tool, Unchained enables you to understand the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in your supply chain and operations.
The first step in the modern slavery risk assessment is to map the direct suppliers in your supply chain by geography, product and spend. At Unchained, we categorise suppliers using the UNSPSC taxonomy
We then deploy our risk matrix to assess modern slavery risk by country and category. With the foundational understanding of where the risks lie among your suppliers, we can help you establish a framework to go deeper in risk management towards the sources of production and beyond
Unchained’s Initial Direct Supplier Risk Assessment report and dashboard is the foundation step to future due diligence including an engagement strategy with vendors including suppliers and labour-hire firms, self-assessment questionnaire, social compliance audit and vertical risk assessment through certain product lines (SKUs).
