Modern slavery is a brutal form of organised crime in which people are treated as commodities and exploited for criminal gain. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that 21 million men, women and children are working in conditions of modern slavery, including trafficked persons. The vast majority of these people are in the supply chains of legitimate industries.
In accordance with the terms of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, AW2E is committed to working within our own business and supply chain to ensure that we implement a proactive approach to tackling hidden labour exploitation and reducing these practices in our wider supply chain.
