In honour of Anti-Slavery Day on Oct. 18, companies may want to familiarise themselves with a recent guide, “Managing Compliance With Environmental and Human Rights Law in Organisations,” published by the Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA) and written by Ardea International Director Colleen Theron.

The impetus behind the guide is the result of an online member survey conducted by the IEMA in early 2018 that found “nearly two thirds of the survey participants worked for organisations that did not have integrated compliance management systems in place to manage environmental and human rights compliance.”
