Figure 1
The model shows two adjacent text boxes inside a dashed boundary. The left box is labeled “Upstream Supply Chain (Upstream Suppliers)” and contains the bullet points “Host country environment”, “Modern slavery practice”, and “Supplier due diligence”. The right box is labeled “Downstream Supply Chain (Buying Organisations)” and contains the bullet points “Supply chain governance”, “Supplier risk management”, “Supplier integration”, and “Supplier development”. Between the two boxes, a double-headed horizontal arrow is present with the text “S C T monitoring” and “Information sharing”. “S C T monitoring” is placed above the text “Information sharing”, both situated between the “Upstream Supply Chain (Upstream Suppliers)” box and the “Downstream Supply Chain (Buying Organisations)” box. Below these two boxes, another text box is present on the dashed boundary labeled “Supply Chain Issues” and contains the bullet points “Complexity”, “Disruption”, and “Visibility issues”. From the “Downstream Supply Chain (Buying Organisations)” box, a rightward pointing arrow leads to a text box outside the dashed boundary labeled “Modern Slavery Disclosures”.Initial framework for SCT monitoring mechanisms and information sharing in modern slavery reporting.
