Modern slavery continues to affect supply chains across Australia, often in ways that are difficult to detect from policies and reports alone. This webinar brings together perspectives from government, industry, and sustainability practice to explore where these risks are most prevalent and how organisations can respond more effectively.
The session features Laura McManus, Director of Strategy and Business Engagement at the Office of the Australian Anti-Slavery Commissioner; María Fernandez Cachafeiro, Head of Sustainability & Social Value at Multiplex UK; and Adam Whitfield, Head of Compliance & ESG at Achilles, a sustainability specialist with more than a decade of international experience in social and environmental auditing, human rights due diligence, and ESG strategy.
Together, they will discuss how modern slavery risks show up in real operational settings, why site-based inspections and audits remain a critical part of effective due diligence, and how insights from the ground can help organisations move from awareness to action.
The discussion will cover:
- The current landscape of modern slavery risk in Australia
- Why site-based inspections and audits matter alongside policies and reporting
- How organisations can use audit findings to strengthen prevention and remediation
- Practical considerations for embedding due diligence into everyday operations
This webinar is designed for procurement, ESG, compliance, and sustainability leaders looking for a clearer, more practical understanding of how to address modern slavery risks within their supply chains.
