"Role of business in preventing and addressing modern slavery"

KPMG Australia, in collaboration with the Property Council of Australia, has developed two practical guides for businesses to better understand and address modern slavery in the property and construction industry in Australia. They:

• Explore the important role of businesses, with a focus on property and construction, in using human rights grievance mechanisms and remediation processes to listen and respond to workers and remedy the situation for rights-holders adversely impacted by modern slavery
• Centre the voice of workers, supported by in-depth research and interviews with property and construction businesses, anti-slavery organisations and other human rights experts
• Offer practical tools, real-world case studies, and expert industry insights for all businesses to begin or review their human rights grievance mechanisms or remediation processes
• Provides practical next steps to ensure your human rights grievance mechanism and remediation process is effective in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
