THE ICAN INITIATIVE
Business Impact Master Class
What is the risk
Business can be associated with human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation, both directly and indirectly, and large companies are often implicated unknowingly, as a result of their long and multi-tiered supply chains.
It has become increasingly clear that business plays an integral role in the fights against these crimes.
Global benchmarks principles, coupled with national legislation, are helping to realise goals of addressing human rights violations within the corporate arena.
When a large company needs to address issues of modern slavery within its supply chains, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin.
Often, supply chains are highly complex, span many countries and it can be difficult to maintain transparency throughout the production process.
Our risk mapping provides a qualitative assessment of modern slavery risk across geographies, commodities and individual suppliers. These are analysed and ranked according to their risk of forced labor, human trafficking and exploitation. This allows companies to target their efforts according to the highest risk suppliers.

There are an estimated 45 million people in modern day slavery around the world. What’s more, as global supply chains continue to grow, they become increasingly complex and ever less transparent. This poses risks to businesses.
ICAN Talks in partnership with Counter Trafficking Unit in the National Security Ministry of Trinidad&Tobago, The Caribbean Union Conference of Seventh Day Adventist also The South Caribbean Conference of Seventh Day Adventist, works with clients across a wide variety of industries and sectors to help them understand modern slavery and the risks it poses to their business.
We help businesses understand the phenomenon of modern slavery, to spot the ‘red flags’, to understand the specific ways that they might be vulnerable to modern slavery, and provide guidance on best practice to mitigate the risks.
We have done work in the United States of America Trinidad&Tobago and the United Kingdom.
