Human rights abuses such as modern slavery, forced labour and labour exploitation are embedded in the history of our energy journey. We're in the process of changing the energy mix and moving to a more sustainable model, yet the technologies we're developing and on which we're reliant are entrenched with human rights issues. This is an area of increasing pressure and attention, yet it's still a novel challenge for many organisations to tackle. 

Action Sustainability wanted to produce this guide to help organisations of all shapes and sizes take a responsible approach to this transition - we hope it goes some way to doing that.
