Ending Modern Slavery in Global Supply Chains

June 3, 2026
10:30-11:30

Modern slavery persists in every region of the world, yet the laws meant to prevent it vary widely in strength, scope, and enforcement. Progress in supply chain due diligence legislation has been uneven — and often symbolic. This panel will include legal experts, advocates, and policymakers to unpack what’s working, what isn’t, and where global modern slavery laws must go next. Panelists will explore enforcement gaps, corporate accountability, and emerging models that have the potential to drive real protections for vulnerable workers.
