Hidden in Plain Sight - Modern Day Slavery in Offshore Jurisdictions (Thursday, 27th November 2025)

Join the IoD committee for a powerful breakfast event exposing the hidden realities of modern slavery in global and local labour markets.

Modern Day Slavery (MDS) is often misunderstood as a distant issue, yet it persists within supply chains and labour markets – even in well-regulated offshore jurisdictions. This insightful IoD Jersey breakfast meeting will shine a spotlight on the hidden realities of MDS and labour exploitation in the global economy, with a specific focus on transitional labour and the responsibilities of businesses and policymakers in Jersey.
