The model consists of multiple labeled boxes arranged around a central oval. The central oval is labeled “Modern Slavery Disclosures on Supply Chain Transparency”. Surrounding this central oval are four rectangular boxes. The box to the left of the central oval is labeled “Upstream supply chain information”. The box to the right of the central oval is labeled “S C T continuous improvement”. The box above the central oval is labeled “Mechanisms for assuring S C T”. The box below the central oval is labeled “S C T monitoring challenges”. Each of these four boxes is connected to the central oval with a straight connecting line. “Upstream supply chain information” is connected to three vertically stacked rectangular boxes present on the left. The top box contains the text “Supplier host country environment” with bullet points “Industry context”, “Regulatory context”, and “Socio-economic norms”. Below it, the second box contains the text “Modern slavery practices in supplier factories” with bullet points “Modern slavery forms”, “Recruitment practices”, and “Working conditions”. The third box contains the text “Supplier modern slavery due diligence” with bullet points “Supplier capability” and “Supplier motivation”. Below “S C T monitoring challenges”, three horizontally aligned rectangular boxes are connected upward with straight lines. The first box on the left is labeled “Supply chain visibility” and contains the bullet points “Information asymmetry” and “Geographical distance”. The middle box is labeled “Supply chain complexity” and contains the bullet points “Multi-tier supply chains” and “Product variety”. The box on the right is labeled “Supply chain disruption” and contains the bullet points “Production efficiency” and “Outsourcing practices”. To the right of “S C T continuous improvement”, two vertically stacked rectangular boxes are present. The top box contains the text “Corporate governance” with bullet points “Organisation values” and “Employee education and training”. Below it, the second box contains the text “Process improvement” with bullet points “Process evaluation” and “Future-oriented steps”. Above “Mechanisms for assuring S C T”, four rectangular boxes are horizontally aligned and connected downward with straight lines. From left to right, the boxes contain the following text: “Supplier governance” with bullet points “Supplier code of conduct” and “Governing committees”, “Supplier risk management” with bullet points “Risk assessment”, “Risk remediation”, and “Information-sharing technology”, “Supplier integration” with bullet points “Supplier collaboration” and “Joint decision-making”, and “Supplier development” with bullet points “Supplier education and training” and “Joint resources provision”.Transparency-driven modern slavery reporting (TDMSR) framework.
