Seafish interactive workshop on understanding and reporting on Modern Slavery. 10 March 2016.

Summary

Seafish facilitated an interactive workshop on understanding and reporting on Modern Slavery. This looked at the wording of the legislation and the practical steps which companies in the seafood sector should take to consider the appropriate levels of risk assessment, and action, that they should put in place to address potential modern slavery issues, both in their supply chain and their direct operations. The workshop also included a presentation on Ergon's review of the first publicly available batch of Modern Slavery Statements, and on the guidance Seafish has produced on drafting MSA statements. At the end of the workshop participants had a clear understanding of the scope and challenges related to drafting a statement and the likely content of their company’s statement.
