"We have worked with Electronics Watch for over 10 years now, providing information about our supply chains spend to assist in their modern slavery prevention work, as well as collaborating on a number of research projects. The data they collect, with and from people with lived experience of modern slavery, is critical to preventing and addressing it. Electronics Watch's experience of collecting and making such data accessible to LUPC, our members and other public sector affiliates, allows us to drive meaningful change together." --Don Bowman, Director, London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC)

The first session will focus on southeast Asia and the experience of workers, presenting the complexities of modern slavery through case studies from the ElectroPower project: a nickel smelter in Indonesia, and two manufacturing sites in Malaysia and Thailand. The rest of the day will explore practical approaches to integrating modern slavery requirements into public tenders, and addressing instances of modern slavery during contract performance. See the detailed programme here.
