Abstract

In this article, Virginia Kendall, T. Markus Funk, and Elizabeth Banzhoff discuss the pernicious presence of human trafficking in global supply chains, and examine the recent swath of enactments designed to conscript the business world into the expanding anti-trafficking fight. The Executive Order Against Human Trafficking in Government Contracts and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act lead the way, but there are also other laws and regulations on the books forming a comprehensive-- and in the past often under-appreciated--bulwark against human trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation. The authors examine the substance of these laws and their actual (and potential) impact on the business world, and provide recommendations for compliance with these groundbreaking new regulations.
