The Modern Slavery Act 2015 introduced a requirement for companies with turnover above £36 million to publish annual slavery and human trafficking statements, disclosing actions to ensure transparency in supply chains. The L5M5 study guide (old p.62, new p.90) stresses its role in combating forced labour and human trafficking.
