RIAA’s response to the OHCHR focused on the impact on institutional investors of poorly managed modern slavery risks across investee companies’ supply chains.
In particular, RIAA referred to the need of investors for policy and regulatory certainty to inform their investment decision making; the limitations of traditional forms of mitigating risk within portfolios for this issue (e.g. through diversification) and the possibility of extending existing frameworks such as anti-money laundering regulations to provider similar for modern slavery.
RIAA also provided an overview of existing regulations in Australia and New Zealand as well as providing details of voluntary measures such as the RIAA Investor toolkit: Human rights with a focus on supply chains, developed by our Human Rights Working Group.
