What is human trafficking? What is modern slavery? Where does it show up in the daily life of an organization? Human trafficking doesn't always take the form we first imagine - it can be found at almost any level of an organization's supply chain. What can compliance professionals do to assess human trafficking risk, and how can they leverage the resources of the organizations they work for to help root out this tragic problem? Gwen Hassan is here to help - this is Hidden Traffic.
There has been a debate around which comes first: mapping your supply chain or doing a risk assessment. Rather than making it a chicken or the egg scenario, Virginia believes mapping your supply chain is a part of a risk assessment and due diligence. The first step in performing a risk assessment is discussing your products with your product team; she shares: figuring out which products have high-risk inputs and which ones you should focus on mapping first.
This is especially important for large companies that import and distribute countless products. There may be too many products for everyone to have a fully mapped and detailed supply chain. Taking it one input at a time breaks down the line item list to a more manageable level.
