The Modern Slavery Act 2015: Transparency Reporting Provisions

The UK is at the forefront of the global move to tackle human trafficking and prevent modern forms of

In this Client Alert, we focus on the new transparency reporting provisions, which the Act introduced and
which are in force as of the end of October 2015. The provisions require companies with a turnover above
a certain threshold to report on the steps they are taking to address human trafficking and modern slavery
in their supply chains.
