<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Seminar hosted by Dr. Hinrich Voss and Dr. Matt Davis</H3>
The application of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 is at the intersection of business, politics, economics and law for clothing retailers and brands and their global suppliers. Our research aims to explore the complexity of the issues relating to the Act through analysis of modern slavery statements, together with interviews in the UK, India, and Vietnam.
The event is aimed at industry and stakeholder experts to provide their insights and views on this topic. Through an interactive workshop, we would like to explore how the dynamics of the extended supply chain, local and national regulatory frameworks and culture can impact strategies to minimise modern slavery in the fashion industry. 
The workshop will provide important lessons for businesses, policy makers, NGOs and other stakeholders into the complexity of modern slavery which will hopefully inform policies and best practices for the future.
