Addressing modern slavery risk in the push to “net-zero”

Overview

Businesses are pursuing “net-zero” through the rapid adoption of renewable energy. Yet the renewables sector has become plagued with allegations of forced labour throughout its supply chains.

This leaves businesses in a tough position; should they respond to increasing economic and societal pressures to decarbonise even if that implicates them in contributing to modern slavery? Or is this a legal and reputational minefield that businesses would be better off avoiding?

In this webinar, 3 experts help you with practical strategies in your company’s transition to clean energy.
