Overview
The modern slavery supply chain risk assessment
combines a questionnaire and risk computations
for third parties to help businesses identify
human rights abuses across your supply and
manufacturing chains.
The questionnaire focuses on a critical area of
reputational and increasingly legal risk and will be
offered via the ethiXbase 360 Third-Party Risk
Management platform and is an integral
component of the ethiXbase Human Rights
Module.
The questionnaire applies know-how
developed by a global law firm* Norton Rose
Fulbright using its global expertise in
identifying and assessing modern slavery
risks, to provide an indicative risk rating.
The Modern Slavery Questionnaire applies a
weighted equation (including jurisdictional,
industry and contractual risk factors) to identify,
across the entire supplier database, salient areas
of concern.
To do so, the questionnaire relies on a variety of
data sources including political and economic
country risk to global slavery risk, measuring the
suppliers risk profile via a direct automated
questionnaire administered to suppliers and
hosted online.
The rating can be used to assist organisations in
managing modern slavery reporting obligations in
multiple jurisdictions.
