RIAA welcomes the opportunity to provide this submission to the review of Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (MSA), sharing RIAA’s views and several recommendations.
Responsible investors are committed to assessing and respecting human rights and mitigating human rights risks in their investments, in line with international agreements and community expectations. The MSA is an important means of providing a level of public transparency and accountability that enables investors to gauge their investee companies’ commitment to and effectiveness at combatting modern slavery. It enables investors better to assess the risks that may be present in that company, and across the entire portfolio of the investment organisation.
