Is slavery in your supply chain?

International companies face a high risk that slavery is part of their supply chains, particularly if they are in garment-making, farming or mining industries, a political risk consultancy warned on Thursday. Verisk Maplecroft said businesses had a “high” or “extreme” risk of association with slavery in their supply chains in 115 countries, with China and India among the emerging economies where it was most likely. Even the European Union as a whole was rated as holding a “medium risk” as a result of the flood of refugees into the bloc heightening the chance of migrants and refugees being exploited.
