Modern Slavery Due Diligence for Risk & Legal - Defensible, Explainable, Audit‑Ready

Trusted by organisations operating in regulated environments
Defensible due diligence is about reasonable steps - not zero risk
Modern slavery laws and guidance recognise that organisations cannot eliminate all risk. What matters is whether reasonable, proportionate steps were taken to identify risks, prioritise action, and document decisions in a way that can be explained and defended.
Relying on ad hoc judgments or inconsistent processes
Apply a consistent, risk‑based screening methodology
Using spreadsheets that are hard to explain or defend
Define clear thresholds for escalation and review
Applying the same checks to every supplier regardless of risk
Document decisions and actions as they occur
Reconstructing evidence after an issue or challenge arises
Maintain an evidence trail that supports assurance and defence

A modern slavery control framework you can explain and defend
The workflow is designed to support legal and risk teams with consistency, proportionality, and traceability - without relying on subjective or one‑off decisions.
Start with existing data
Establish a clear baseline view of the supplier base using existing organisational data.
Screen suppliers
Apply defined criteria to identify where modern slavery risk is more likely to exist.
Prioritise risk
Ensure effort and scrutiny are proportionate to risk exposure.
Escalate and review
Trigger additional checks, legal review, or engagement only when justified.
Keep an evidence trail
Record screening results, decisions, and actions to support assurance, audits, and defence.
