Pathway to Respecting Human Rights and Addressing Modern Slavery Risks
This Pathway represents a call to action; you can use it to support human rights and work to eliminate modern slavery in your organisation and the telecommunications industry.
Respecting human rights and addressing modern slavery is a shared responsibility across the telecommunications industry, and all players, no matter how large or small, have an important role to play.
Telco Together Foundation in collaboration with Edge Impact and Foundation members Telstra, Optus, TPG Telecom, Aussie Broadband and Superloop have produced this Pathway to Respecting Human Rights and Addressing Modern Slavery Risks.
The Pathway handbook tailors each step to enable telcos of all sizes to respond to modern slavery risk and take meaningful action.
We invite you to use the Pathway to support human rights and work to eliminate modern slavery in your organisation and the telecommunications industry.
Modern slavery in our supply chains isn't just a possibility — it's a reality that demands our immediate attention.
Through education, awareness, and collaboration, we empower Australian businesses to connect with the resources needed to combat these risks head-on.
