Pleasure speaking with @James_Cockayne, discussing the current landscape of sustainability and modern slavery work
and exploring opportunities for collaboration. Businesses must ensure ethical practices are embedded in every part of their operations.

@larawoltersEU Congratulations on what you have achieved over the last 5 years. And well done on a powerful speech and honoring the memory of the victims of Rana Plaza. Here is the broadcast, in English.

@HeidiHautala You are confident the Parliament will pass it, then?

[Belgium in the EU @BelgiuminEU]

⛓️ In the EU, it matters how products are made!

Ambassadors just confirmed the Corporate sustainability due diligence directive (#CSDDD)!

💚 It fosters sustainable & responsible corporate behaviour, anchors human rights & environmental considerations for companies' operations.

[Post in a personal capacity]
I was proud to start the day marching for YES for a Voice on the land of the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung nation. Everyone in our beautiful country is better off when those affected by laws and policies have a voice in shaping them.

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

Hearing directly from survivors is critical to understanding how a country is doing in tackling modern slavery.

I was pleased to support engagements by @JTIP_State⁩ with people with varying lived experiences of modern slavery in New South Wales.

Modern slavery is an abuse of human rights, and poses serious reputational, financial and legal risks for companies and communities. Secure your seat for James Cockayne’s Address at the 2023 Phil Spathis lunch on 16 October.

How can we ensure modern slavery is not the price of rapid decarbonisation?

I’m working with @cleannrgcouncil to develop a code of practice.

@GhazaviVD @smh Great piece @GhazaviVD.

We should recognize that welfare is an investment in human development (h/t Amartya Sen).

And that this is about realizing rights.

Human rights describe the contours of the ‘floor’ on which capabilities & agency develop & humans flourish.

[James Cockayne @James_Cockayne]

Thanks to ⁦@ABCthedrum⁩ for having me & my colleague Sarah on last Friday to discuss the crisis of 41,000 people in modern slavery in Australia and what we can all do about it.
