Webinar: The Importance of Addressing Modern Slavery in a Just Transition

What is the webinar about?

The Importance of a Just Transition

As we move toward a more sustainable and equitable future, the concept of a “Just Transition” becomes increasingly vital. This transition isn’t just about shifting to cleaner, greener industries. It’s about ensuring that the people and communities most impacted by these changes are supported, valued, and empowered.

Modern Slavery in a Just Transition

Modern slavery fits into the Just Transition in a crucial way, as it highlights the intersection between social justice, labour rights, and environmental sustainability. A Just Transition is about ensuring that the shift toward a greener economy doesn’t leave vulnerable workers behind.

Tackling Modern Slavery in Renewables

Following on from Action Sustainability’s recent publication on Addressing Modern Slavery in Solar PV Supply Chains this webinar will focus on the risks of modern slavery within renewables as part of the Just Transition.

• Understand the modern slavery risks associated with the Just Transition
• Be equipped to embed modern slavery due diligence into the procurement process to assess and address modern slavery risks across renewable supply chains
• Gain access to resources and a support network of peers facing similar challenges to yourself when purchasing renewables
