Recent media and non-government organization (NGO) attention have cast light on how prevalent human trafficking
and slavery are around the world. Multinational companies with global supply chains who realize that their own
operations may be supporting the practice often struggle to incorporate information and methods into their due
diligence programs to tackle the issue. In addition, regulations such as the UK Modern Slavery Act and the California
Transparency in Supply Chains Act have increased the urgency of establishing sound practices to support public
disclosure requirements on the subject.
BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions has responded by developing the BSI Supply Chain Slavery Gap Assessment.
BSI’s expertise and focus on the breadth of supply chain threats – human rights abuses, security threats, and business
continuity risks – uniquely positions us to support our clients’ needs in understanding and mitigating such a large-scale
and complex issue.

This map presents the relative risk of
countries in which the client’ operates,
either directly or indirectly through
its supply chain and business
partners, according to the BSI Forced
Labour Risk Index. Additional factors
are illustrated in subsequent graphics,
including the relative level of exposure
of the client’s sites/products, and
controls that The client employs
to manage those risks.
The BSI Forced Labour Index is calculated based on the following criteria:
• Regulatory Environment
• Consistency and effectiveness of enforcement
• Scale and frequency of incidence
• Presence of forced labour within export industries
“It is not acceptable for any organisation to say, in the twenty-first century, that they did not know. It is not acceptable for organisations to ignore
the issue because it is difficult or complex. And, it is certainly not acceptable for an organisation to put profit above the welfare and well-being of its
employees and those working on its behalf.”
Theresa May, UK Prime Minister
“Organisations can be implicated in
modern slavery both directly and
indirectly in a variety of ways: in
their own operations, through their
global supply chains and through their
involvement with business partners.
Companies also risk employing
exploited workers in the construction,
maintenance and servicing of their
facilities, particularly in cases where
those functions are outsourced
to third-party suppliers.”
