STRONGER TOGETHER
OVERVIEW & PROGRESS
Stronger Together is a business-led, multi-stakeholder initiative whose purpose is to support organisations to tackle modern slavery within their businesses and supply chains. Launched in October 2013, Stronger Together provides clear guidance through training and accessible open source pragmatic resources and tools which are free to use by anyone, in any country. The Progress Reporting Tool provides businesses with the opportunity to self-assess, track and benchmark their progress against industry peers, and the Organisational Performance Assessment delivered by expert consultants, offers independent verification of progress to tackle modern slavery. Our specialist guidance helps employers and labour providers to deter, detect and deal appropriately with forced labour, labour trafficking and other hidden labour exploitation.

“No business is too big or too small to be at the risk of modern slavery and labour exploitation. It is up to businesses and the industry as a whole to work together to protect those in our supply chains that are at risk. Stronger Together provides companies with what they need to take the proactive steps necessary to tackle this exploitation. Commitment to this programme demonstrates good business sense.”
