Removing Slavery from Product Supply Chains

'BECOMING A SLAVERY-FREE BUSINESS:
REMOVING SLAVERY FROM PRODUCT SUPPLY CHAINS'

 


There’s slavery in every shopping mall in America. From cocoa, coffee and clothing, to cars, computers and cell phones—many products sold in the U.S. are tainted by slavery. Sometimes it’s sweatshop slavery where goods are manufactured. Other times, it’s brutal child slavery at plantations and mines where commodities and raw materials come from.
Consumers, investors and regulators want to remove slavery from U.S. store shelves. California has already enacted rules that will soon affect thousands of products sold in America’s most populus state.
