In a recent article in SupplyChain Magazine, Financial Markets and Funds partner Neil Robson shared how the growing consumer interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as a part of good business, along with the need to be compliant with UK Modern Slavery Act, has led to many CEOs making scrutiny of human rights violations in the supply chain a high priority. "Addressing human rights issues across the supply chain is a huge challenge. Businesses that hold themselves out as ESG-compliant must address their sustainability and good governance, but must also understand their impact on their entire supply chain and do their best to ensure they are doing the right thing for all concerned."
