"Undoing slavery: business coalition tackles unmet needs," 17 May 2018

[The vision of the]... Global Business Coalition Against Human Trafficking (GBCAT)... focuses on three areas where business can carry out a unique role in the anti-trafficking movement: (1) support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in our supply chains to understand and right-size their response to modern slavery; (2) support survivors in breaking the cycle of entrapment and getting empowered and employed; and (3) help other global businesses navigate the complex landscape of anti-slavery organizations and resources... GBCAT member companies are “all in” to tackle these three unmet needs. Other businesses should not only take advantage of the advice and best practices that GBCAT has to offer, they should join the alliance and stand shoulder to shoulder with these far-reaching and iconic companies. Doing so will deliver value for a company’s shareholders, employees, customers, communities, and partners—and most of all for the women and men who avoid or transcend trafficking. Globalization need not cause slavery, and businesses have a valuable leadership role to play in making sure that’s the case.
