Your Modern Slavery Solution
for Supply Chain Due Diligence & Compliance
Why Organisations Are Acting Now
Modern slavery compliance is shifting from an annual reporting exercise to an ongoing governance and due diligence process.
Legislation Is Evolving
Modern slavery and human rights laws are increasingly focused on identifying, assessing and managing supply chain risk, not simply reporting on it.
Stakeholder Expectations Are Rising
Customers, investors and procurement teams increasingly expect businesses to understand where their products come from and stand behind their responsible sourcing claims.
Supply Chains Are More Complex
Global sourcing, outsources manufacturing and multi-tier supply chains make labour exploitation harder to identify without structured due diligence.
Governance Expectations Are Stronger
Modern slavery is increasingly treated as a governance issue, requiring clear accountability, effective due diligence and continuous improvement.

From Supply Chain Risk to Practical Action
Our approach moves from understanding where modern slavery risk may exist, through supplier engagement and evidence review, to targeted action, monitoring and reporting.
Establish Governance
Define responsibilities, oversight and your due diligence framework.
2. Identify Latent Risk
Assess inherent risk across countries, procurement categories and your supply chain.
3. Engage Suppliers
Gather supplier information, questionnaires and supporting evidence.
4. Assess Residual Risk
Review supplier controls and evidence to understand the risk that remains.
5. Act, Monitor & Report
Prioritise action, strengthen controls and support ongoing modern slavery reporting.
A More Complete View of Modern Slavery Risk
Modern slavery risk isn't determined by one factor. The Solution brings together structural risk, supplier-specific information and evidence to give you a clearer basis for action.
Country & Labour Risk
Understand the environment your suppliers operate in.
​
Consider indicators such as modern slavery prevalence, child labour, trafficking, labour rights and governance.
Procurement & Category Risk
Look beyond geography.
​
Assess the nature of the goods or services you procure, labour intensity and potential upstream exposure.
Supplier Controls
See what's actually being done.
​
Review questionnaires, policies, certifications, evidence and other controls to understand the risk that remains.
More Than an Annual Statement
Modern slavery compliance is moving beyond annual reporting. Effective due diligence means understanding risk, engaging suppliers and taking action throughout the year.
Title | Statement-Led Approach | Ongoing Due Diligence |
|---|---|---|
Governance | Reviewed at reporting time | Clear ongoing accountability |
Risk Assessment | Broad or periodic | Structured and risk-based |
Supplier Engagement | Limited | Questionnaires + evidence |
Risk Response | Report what was found | Mitigate and monitor |
Reporting | Annual outcome | Built from ongoing activity |
1. Assess the Risk
Evaluate country, category and supplier-specific indicators to understand where modern slavery risk may exist and how severe it could be.
2. Prioritise Your Response
Use spend, business relevance and the level of identified risk to prioritise supplier engagement, mitigation, monitoring and follow-up.
Risk and Priority Aren't the Same Thing
A suppliers level of modern slavery risk shouldn't be determined by how much you spend with them. Hikari assesses risk first, then uses spend and business importance to help prioritise where your team should focus its effort.
Turn Risk Findings Into Action
Move from identifying risk to mitigating, monitoring and reporting it.
Identifying modern slavery risk i sonly useful if it leads to a clear response. The Solution helps you move from assessment into practical action, ongoing monitoring and reporting.
Address identified risks
Develop practical actions for higher-risk suppliers, strengthen controls and establish remediation pathways where needed.
Track what changes
Follow up supplier responses, review new evidence and monitor whether controls are actually reducing risk over time.
Show the work behind your statement
Bring your due diligence activity together into clear, defensible reporting that reflect what your business has actually done.
Supplier Engagement
Support with questionnaire, follow-up and obtaining better information from higher-risk suppliers.
Remediation & Action Planning
Develop practical next steps, remediation pathways and stronger supplier controls where gaps are identified.
Policies & Governance
Strengthen internal responsibilities, policies and processes so modern slavery due diligence becomes part of everyday business.
Statement & Reporting Support
