What's ahead for NZ Businesses: Modern Slavery Obligations and the Australian Playbook

New Zealand's Modern Slavery Bill (Member's Bill 242-1) was introduced in February 2026 and is currently before the Education and Workforce Select Committee. If passed, it will require organisations with consolidated revenue above NZD $100 million to publicly report on modern slavery risks across their operations and supply chains.

Fair Supply recently made a formal submission to the Select Committee. In this webinar, Fair Supply CEO Kimberly Randle walks through that submission and unpacks the reasoning behind each recommendation: the friction points, design gaps and business realities that the Australian experience has exposed, so that New Zealand businesses can get ahead before the Bill becomes law.

‍

What we'll cover:

• The Bill and what it requires: A plain-language overview of who is captured, what must be reported, and what compliance looks like
• Fair Supply’s recommendations: A detailed look at recommendations including reporting period alignment, due diligence, and small business guidance, and the reasoning behind the recommendations 
• How New Zealand businesses can start preparing now: Practical steps to implement ahead of formal legislative change

‍

Who should attend

Legal, risk, compliance, procurement and sustainability leaders in New Zealand organisations who want to understand the landscape before the Bill becomes law. Organisations with trans-Tasman operations or supply chain dependencies will also find this session particularly relevant.
