Beyond compliance: What makes a strong modern slavery statement in 2025?

The deadline for modern slavery statements for companies reporting on the Australian financial year is 31 December 2025. Organisations with annual consolidated revenue over $100 million are under increasing pressure to deliver high quality modern slavery statements. Yet many are still unprepared for the heightened scrutiny that reporting now demands.

This webinar will unpack what a strong modern slavery statement and response looks like in 2025. Drawing on Fair Supply’s expertise, we’ll explore common pitfalls, evolving expectations, and how effective due diligence practices are essential for moving from compliance box-ticking to meaningful progress.

What we’ll cover

• How to frame risks and progress in a way that is accurate, defensible and aligned with stakeholder concerns
• Why credible reporting depends on effective due diligence
• How to conduct effective due diligence that goes beyond blanket supplier questionnaires and demonstrates real action.
