This In Conversation will discuss the horrific and lasting impact of modern slavery on individuals and societies, and what needs to be done to eradicate it for good. Every year a total of $354 billion worth of at-risk products are imported by G20 countries, today’s producers and consumers have a new and urgent responsibility to ensure supply chains and products they manufacture, sell and purchase are never touched by modern slavery.
