The Dark Side of Global Business
Every four seconds, someone becomes a victim of modern slavery. Right now, over 50 million children, women, and men are trapped in forced labour and exploitation, the highest number in human history. This is the dark side of global business. It's not a remote problem. It's in the products we make, the goods we sell, and the services we use.
This briefing is an urgent call to action. Join Matt Friedman, an international human trafficking expert, and CEO of The Mekong Club, who has championed the fight for human rights for many years. He will give you an honest look at one of the greatest humanitarian and business challenges of our time.
Matt will address:
➤ The evolving modern slavery and human trafficking landscape across the globe
➤ A thorough summary of global trends and patterns
➤ Emerging legislation, impact on the private sector, and ESG
➤ How AI can play in contributing to this crime and as a possible solution
➤ Practical tools and approaches to identify and address this serious issue.
This isn't just a presentation; it's a step toward meaningful change. We'll provide a look at the challenges, and a practical guide for integrating justice into the core of your business. Ready to be part of the solution? Then, we invite you to confront the truth and discover how you can take effective, immediate action. The event will be held both in person and live-streamed, ensuring access for everyone interested.
