Risk Benefits of addressing Human Trafficking in supply chains Legal TOWARDS INCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP Benefits of addressing Human Trafficking in supply chains Understanding, mitigating, and managing the risks HT -> direct impact on business ability to manage their supply chains It also affects how a corporation is perceived Risk Financial Legal Reputational "informal” labour migration: While initiated by the Syrian crisis, more than half of the nearly 1 million people who have entered Europe in the last few years weren't from active crisis zones, but were labour migrants. Highlights the power of smugglers to amplify and enable the natural desire of people to seek better livelihood opportunities. GI has been monitoring the smuggling markets through tracking leg prices. We believe that to shift towards a proactive response to criminal markets requires ongoing monitoring capacity. Funded by the EU, and in partnership with the Institute for Security Studies (a pan-African NGO), in 2016 we will be creating a series of Organised Crime Observatories for Africa. Welcome collaboration.
