Fact Sheet: Modern Slavery

Corporate Travel Management (CTM) is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. As part of CTM’s supply chain, your role is critical in helping us identify, prevent, and address modern slavery risks across our global operations and supply chains.

This factsheet provides you with practical guidance on understanding modern slavery and your responsibilities as a supplier.

What Is Modern Slavery?

Modern Slavery refers to exploitation where coercion, threats, or deception are used to exploit victims and undermine their freedom. It includes human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, slavery and servitude and child labour.

In Australia and the UK, there are laws[1] which require certain companies to publish modern slavery statements which set out the initiatives and steps undertaken by the company to assess and address risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chain.

CTM is a reporting entity under both the Australian and UK modern slavery regime. CTM’s Modern Slavery Statement can be found here.

How to Mitigate Modern Slavery Risk in Your Supply Chain

  1. (Develop a Modern Slavery Policy) Formalise your business’s commitment to identifying and eradicating modern slavery.
  2. (Map Your Supply Chain) Understand and document every level of your supply chain, particularly in high-risk countries or sectors.
  3. (Conduct Risk Assessments) Identify vulnerable sectors, regions, or suppliers. Use tools like supplier questionnaires and third-party audits where necessary.
  4. (Implement Due Diligence Processes) Include modern slavery clauses in contracts and regularly screen and assess suppliers for compliance.
  5. (Train Staff and Suppliers) Provide training to procurement and compliance teams and educate suppliers on expected standards and reporting mechanisms.
  6. (Monitor and Review) Set targets for ethical sourcing. Periodically review policies, risk areas, and remediation effectiveness.
  7. (Remediate Where Needed) Have clear protocols and communication channels for investigating and addressing identified issues.
