Working with you towards real impact

At Anti-Slavery International, we help businesses and non-profits move beyond legal compliance to create lasting, worker-centred solutions that combat modern slavery. Our bespoke advisory services equip you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to proactively identify, prevent, and address forced labour risks in your operations and supply chains.

How we support your business

We guide businesses in aligning with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), ensuring corporate responsibility delivers tangible results. Our tailored approach considers your specific challenges, leveraging our expertise to develop sustainable and effective solutions.

Tailored, practical, and impact-driven

  • Risk identification & response: We assess your supply chain to identify vulnerabilities to modern slavery.
  • Custom strategies: We develop solutions specific to your business, ensuring they are practical, effective, and aligned with evolving regulations.
  • Ongoing due diligence: Our experts help implement ongoing risk assessment and worker-centred due diligence strategies adapted to local contexts.
  • Empowering workers: We ensure access to remedy is a fundamental human right, not just a ‘best practice’.
  • Advocacy & compliance: As leaders in corporate accountability legislation, we keep you informed on evolving legal requirements and best practices.

Partnership spotlight

Since 2017, we have partnered with ASOS to strengthen their modern slavery due diligence and supplier accountability. A key initiative involved establishing a Migrant Resource Centre in Mauritius, in collaboration with local trade unions and CSOs, providing migrant workers with essential information, grievance support, and remediation pathways.

Alice Strevens, Head of Ethical Trade at ASOS, shares:

“We are committed to the fight against modern slavery, but we know that cross-sector collaboration is essential to achieving our goals. Anti-Slavery International is the perfect partner in this. It brings years of real-world expertise tackling modern slavery and understands that change across a global business can be a complex journey. In the years working together we have taken positive action that is addressing the risk to the business and also making a genuine difference to people’s lives.”
