Join us to mark 10 years of collaboration at:
‘Towards a Future Free from Exploitation’
Wed 17th May, 9am – 5pm
Heart of England Conference Centre, Coventry
Join us at Stronger Together’s 10-year anniversary event, at which you will gain expert insights on contemporary issues related to worker exploitation, what it means for your operations and supply chain and how to implement tangible change.
Together, we have achieved a great deal, but we cannot be complacent. Workers continue to be at risk of exploitation – with compounding threats of the cost of living, climate change, and infiltration from criminal gangs. Meanwhile momentum for responsible recruitment and fair work continues to grow across the world, with emerging legislation, industry bench-marking and consumer expectations.
The agenda includes inspiring panel sessions, perspectives from a range of stakeholders, and practical interactive breakout sessions facilitated by experts, so you will be challenged, inspired and leave feeling positive about the next steps you can take within your role and organisation to embed responsible recruitment and fair work, free from exploitation.
