With the recent bipartisan lodgement of a new Modern Slavery Bill in New Zealand, Edge Impact is joining forces with Better Sydney this Wednesday to deliver an online workshop that brings together complementary perspectives across risk, assurance and system implementation.
The ‘Modern Slavery Risk to Readiness’ virtual workshop focuses on the key decisions organisations need to make early on and is designed to support those first steps.
When: Wednesday, 1 April, 11am to 1pm NZST
You’ll learn:
- What the proposed Bill means in practice for your organisation
- Where modern slavery risk is most likely to sit across your operations and supply chains
- How your current systems might surface a serious issue if one existed
- The early investments you can make to strengthen governance and risk oversight, even before requirements are finalised
Perfect for sustainability and ESG leaders, procurement and supply chain teams, risk and legal professionals, executives and board representatives, the workshop applies a practical lens to system health (governance, procurement, escalation) while sharing how other organisations have begun their own journeys in modern slavery risk governance.
You’ll discover more about your organisation’s likely risk exposure profile, where to find more information and practical resources, and which priority actions can be progressed now with confidence.
“A Modern Slavery Bill has now been introduced to New Zealand Parliament, signalling a shift toward enforceable expectations on how organisations understand, govern and respond to modern slavery risk,” said Edge Impact.
“If passed as signalled, reporting for entities with revenue over $100 million could begin as early as mid-2028. For many organisations, the immediate challenge is not compliance, it is determining what this means for your business and what to do next.”
