We can help you.
Australia has introduced a new Modern Slavery Act (MSA) requiring large businesses to submit an annual Modern Slavery Statement and train their staff on the issue of modern-day slavery.
We run workshops, webinars, and training for both large and small businesses.
1. Our MSA workshops for small business (under $50 million in revenue) helps those who want to submit a voluntary statement are an introductory ‘get started’ package. Small businesses will want to DIY as much as possible to save money. We will ensure you have the practical ‘how to’ on checking your supply chain for the risk of slavery. We will equip you with a clear understanding of compliance with the law, and help you begin to write your MSA statement. We will show you how to leverage these new market opportunities, how to be a purpose-driven business, how to increase sales through ethical values and how to be a leader within your industry.
2. For large businesses (over $50million in revenue) wanting to submit a statement, we offer bespoke training on Modern Slavery for your board, your employees and your suppliers. We also help large businesses with assessing the procedures, operations and supply chains of their organisation and suppliers. We offer an easy Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform (R.A.M.P) to help you ramp up your response to modern slavery.
3. We can help all oganisations with REMEDIATION processes for victims of slavery.
Every entity is different so a one-on-one chat would benefit your organisation. We will help you discern the risks of slavery and develop the next best steps for your company.
