Defensible Modern Slavery Due Diligence for ESG Leaders
Screen supplier risk, prioritise where to focus, and demonstrate defensible due diligence – with clear evidence for reporting, assurance, and continuous improvement.
Defensible due diligence isn’t about checking every supplier
Modern slavery expectations don’t require sustainability teams to survey every supplier or run a once-a-year scramble for evidence. What matters is a consistent, risk-based approach that shows how risks were identified, where effort was focused, and what actions were taken over time.
Treating every supplier as equal risk
Screen your full supplier list to identify higher-risk areas
Reying on one-off surveys and spreadsheets
Prioritise effort based on defined risk thresholds
Chasing evidence at reporting time
Escalate engagement proportionately where risk is higher
Trying to prove diligence after the fact
Maintain an audit-ready evidence trail

A risk-based due diligence framework built for ESG scrutiny
The goal isn’t a once-a-year reporting scramble. It’s a living program that prioritises effort, supports cross-functional action, and keeps evidence audit-ready with minimal lift.
Establish a documented risk baseline
Use supplier and spend data to create an organisation-wide, documented view of modern slavery risk exposure.
Systematically assess risk exposure
Apply consistent risk indicators across the supplier base to identify higher-risk areas using defined criteria.
Prioritise effort
Focus attention on higher-risk areas first, rather than spreading effort thinly.
Escalate when needed
Trigger targeted engagement or deeper checks only when risk thresholds are met.
Keep an evidence trail
Log decisions, actions, and outcomes as they occur so reporting is always supported by evidence.
Built for ESG realities - not just compliance checklists
Many organisations manage modern slavery risk with spreadsheets, one-off surveys, or consultants -approaches that create more work and make it harder to demonstrate improvement over time.
Drive measurable improvement
Move from reactive reporting to a structured, repeatable approach that strengthens risk management year on year.
Explainable, structured decisions
A structured approach that enables you to explain how risks were identified, how decisions were prioritised, and what actions followed
Works across procurement, risk, and legal
Built to support cross-functional collaboration and escalation without creating new operational friction.
Evidence captured as you go - not recreated later
Maintain a clear, audit-ready record of decisions and actions to support reporting, assurance, audits, and stakeholder scrutiny.
