The issue of modern slavery is an enduring challenge faced by the construction industry. With often complex and evolving supply chains, construction can be seen as an easy target for those wishing to take advantage of individuals who find themselves in a situation that makes them vulnerable to illegal practices. Multiplex recognises the importance of the industry coming together in a collaborative manner to face this challenge while recognising the value in developing an integrated approach in order to eradicate modern slavery in its many forms.
