It's still too early to do quantitative analysis on the first month's data of course, in spite of numerous reports aiming to determine the success or failure of the Modern Slavery Act in compelling businesses to take action. However, given the responses we've had from our members (many of whom have yet to produce their statements) we're encouraged by the growing awareness across business sectors as a result of the legislation. For many businesses, this is their first attempt to assess the risks within their own supply chains and we're confident that in working with our members, tiscreport can help them become far more effective in the coming months and years.
