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.  


PREPARE YOUR COMPANY, YOUR CLIENTS, YOUR EMPLOYEES, YOUR SUPPLIERS AND YOUR INDUSTRY

  • In just eight minutes, business leaders will understand why government regulators are requiring companies to investigate, disclose, and eventually remove slavery from their product supply chains.

  • This powerful documentary reveals the impact of supply-chain slavery on people in the U.S. and around the world. Viewers see what modern-day slavery looks like, and hear directly from slaves.

  • Professionally-produced by former network journalists, the video can be shown at briefings and conferences, as well as at work-team meetings or individual viewing sessions.


  • It is a valuable learning and motivational tool to accompany a corporation's written directives and training materials for compliance with state and federal requirements.

    PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOP SLAVERY EXPERTS
    • Dr. Kevin Bales is co-founder of Free the Slaves, which is one of America's leading nonprofit anti-slavery organizations.

    • Professor Bales is one of the world's most sought-after experts on ending modern slavery. He has advised the United Nations and overseas governments. He appears frequently in the global news media.

    • Professor Bales sits on the board of the International Cocoa Initiative, a trade coalition of top chocolate companies trying to remove slavery from their industry. He understands the challenges that business leaders face, and he’s developed a valuable three-point plan for corporate supply-chain policies.

"A view is a meeting point of two souls" V.Nikolaj Velimirovic



One of our most famous orthodox priest Vladyka Nikolaj Velimirovic said : " A view is a meeting point of two souls. And then, with a view, as with the lamp we descend into chasms and fissures of other people's (beings) souls to see what there is."
What this view tell you ?

 At the Edge of NGC 891

Explanation: This sharp cosmic portrait features NGC 891. The spiral galaxy spans about 100 thousand light-years and is seen almost exactly edge-on from our perspective. In fact, about 30 million light-years distant in the constellation Andromeda, NGC 891 looks a lot like our Milky Way. At first glance, it has a flat, thin, galactic disk and a central bulge cut along the middle by regions of dark obscuring dust. The combined image data also reveals the galaxy's young blue star clusters and telltale pinkish star forming regions. And remarkably apparent in NGC 891's edge-on presentation are filaments of dust that extend hundreds of light-years above and below the center line. The dust has likely been blown out of the disk by supernova explosions or intense star formation activity. Faint neighboring galaxies can also been seen near this galaxy's disk.
