KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI took part in Dow Jones Risk and Compliance webinar devoted to ESG.
The webinar focused on the issues modern slavery in the framework of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) compliance. The aim was to shed a light on modern slavery as a topic, its effect on human rights legislation, the global economy and how various organizations are combating force labour practices.
Modern slavery topic needs a bit of contextualization to begin the discussion because it is not standardized, it has no legal definition. It can be figured out that it is a mix of human trafficking, slavery and servitude. This is a major cause for concern because despite being banned in all countries of the world, there is a considerable grey area of crime in this respect. The main way it is produced is by situations of forced labour. Hence, it is believed that it is a great part of world’s supply chains. Modern slavery is calculated to reach 50 million people nowadays, with an uplift of 10 million people in the last five years. Around half of them are forced workers. In terms of economics, it is about half a trillion dollars profit per annum on forced labour.
