The Modern Day Slavery Act has just been given Royal Assent. This means that as from October 2015, any British business with a turnover of more than £36 million, globally, has to report annually on its efforts to ensure that slave labour is not used in its supply chains. Nina Smith, Executive Director of GoodWeave, the organisation which works to end child labour in the rug industry and runs the GoodWeave rug labelling scheme, says: ‘Supply chain transparency and responsibility are what GoodWeave is all about, particularly concerning child labour and trafficking. We applaud this important step taken by Parliament.’
