About

In 2016, when the first companies started publishing their UK Modern Slavery Act statements, Walk Free and Wikirate partnered to set up a research project that could assess their contents; were companies approaching it as another tick box exercise or were they going beyond compliance?

This Data Set feeds a tool designed to shine a light on business reporting under modern slavery legislation. Only with transparency can we understand how legislation is affecting business practice, hold non-compliance to account and improve industry standards. Promoting respect for human rights and labour standards is crucial to build a more sustainable and resilient global economy.
