'CCLA’s ‘Find it, Fix it, Prevent it’ initiative is to be highly commended. Modern slavery involves the exploitation of workers by corporations and intermediaries who abuse employment practices and vulnerable people to access cheap labour. It can appear in any supply chain without committed vigilance. Through CCLA’s initiative, signatories are provided with the education and expertise to identify and stop modern slavery within their supply chains. I have witnessed first-hand the impressive work CCLA undertakes with investee companies to eliminate the sourcing of seasonal staff from predatory recruiters, complex and unreliable visa applications, and hidden costs. While this issue is more widespread than many realise, collaboration among NGOs, charities, and investors shows potential for its eradication. Increasingly, fund gatekeepers such as us at Square Mile Research, are determining that powerful advocacy initiatives from groups like CCLA are a key consideration in deciding which fund managers we seek to build relationships with.’ Jake Moeller, Associate Director – Responsible Investment, Square Mile Investment Consulting & Research Limited Read our 2024 Find it, Fix it, Prevent it report here. https://lnkd.in/e5irB_sS

"The Find it, Fix it, Prevent it initiative has set the standard for engaging companies on modern slavery and labour exploitation. As investor members we’ve used the benchmark findings to identify tangible outcomes and work with our peers to promote change at investee companies. Partnering with CCLA earlier this year to conduct a multi-stakeholder roundtable brought to life the challenges and best practices for the safeguarding of workers across the construction value chain, and we look forward to seeing the continued impact of this work.” Siobhan Archer, Global Stewardship Lead, LGT   Read our 2024 Find it, Fix it, Prevent it report to see the progress investors are making to combat modern slavery in company supply chains. https://lnkd.in/e5irB_sS #goodinvestment #betterwork #endmodernslavery #antislavery
