Forced labor is the EU-legal term that relates to modern slavery.
In some jurisdictions, such as the UK and Australia, modern slavery reporting has been on the agenda for some years, and in European Union it appeared in the CSRD and the CSDDD. Now these directives are under pressure of severe reduction, the lack of clear legal guidance makes corporate reporting on the topic voluntary. Transparency on the topic may be important to eradicate it.
Involvement and reporting on the topic are different things, which may affect one another.This is a quantitative research proposal. The research approach may be drawn from ESG reporting research, empirical legal research or corporate governance research. The latter may relate to board characteristics. Data availability is a challenge, but useful options are available.
