The event brought together investors, policymakers, and sustainability experts to discuss modern slavery risks, regulatory developments, and implementation challenges.
Key themes included the urgency of tackling forced labour – impacting nearly 29.4 million people in the region – regulatory momentum in APAC and the EU, and the critical role of continuous due diligence and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Participants emphasised practical solutions such as enhanced contracting, regional partnerships, and improved grievance mechanisms, with next steps focused on developing best practices and advocacy strategies through OECD and investor networks.
