Reduce Human Trafficking in the Supply Chain

August 19

Explore obligations that companies face in identifying, preventing, and mitigating human trafficking that occur in global supply chains.

Human trafficking is a violation of human rights. Global supply chains consist of complex, lengthy, intertwined business relationships, and managing them poses logistical, practical, cultural, and legal challenges to multinational companies. Human trafficking can and does occur in these complex global supply chains. Review practical strategies that companies can deploy in meeting these obligations, in light of the challenges posed by the fact that they often have limited leverage over or visibility into certain portions of the global supply chain.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to define human trafficking and explain its connection to broader human rights principles.
  • You will be able to describe the structure and function of global supply chains and identify why they are vulnerable to human trafficking.
  • You will be able to outline legal and ethical obligations companies have in addressing human trafficking.
  • You will be able to evaluate practical strategies and challenges companies face in preventing human trafficking within supply chains.
