Event/Workshop
GB
Tuesday, 17 September 2024, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
What is the session about?
Join this webinar featuring Vinny Walker, Residential Construction Director at Carey Group-owned BDL Dry Lining. Vinny will share firsthand insights into how BDL was infiltrated by an organised crime group and BDLs part in the successful prosecutions as part of Operation Cardinas - one of the UK's largest anti-slavery prosecutions. He will discuss the subsequent impact on operations, lessons learned and what steps organisations can take to improve their due diligence.
With an estimated 49.6 million victims of modern slavery worldwide, and an estimated 100,000 victims in the UK in 2020, reports of the value of at-risk products consumed by G20 countries annually totals $354 billion.
No supply chain can be considered risk free, and with increasing regulatory due diligence requirements, focus from the investment community through ESG reporting, and more informed consumer expectations, organisations need to raise the bar when it comes to tackling modern slavery issues.
