Episode Four: What can be done about modern slavery in supply chains?
In the fourth episode of the ‘A Question of Risk’ podcast we discuss modern slavery and look at what steps businesses can take to prevent modern slavery in their supply chains.
Podcast host Alex Minett, Head of Global New Markets at CHAS, is joined by special guest Doug Aris, Head of Consultancy Services for Nutral, who work with organisations in the construction sector to eradicate modern slavery and improve workforce management solutions.
During the podcast Doug and Alex consider why modern slavery and exploitation is a particular issue in the construction industry and how it can be tackled.
