Do You Know if Slavery Lives in Your Supply Chain? If You Don't Know, You're Not Alone.

Slavery is typically a problem that is thought to be in areas that are not close to us, when in reality these issues are closer then people realize.

The idea that modern day slavery does not exist in supply chains is quickly fading as more accounts of this unethical practice are being uncovered. Not all countries are immune to this problem, as slavery has been found in operations here within the United States. There are several levels of slavery that can plague a company and many times those areas where it penetrates is directly into the supply chain.
