Mindful Fashion has submitted a response to the governments draft legislation to modern slavery and worker exploitation.

This will not only protect workers from exploitation, but help create a level playing field for businesses that choose to operate responsibly with robust due diligence processes for their procurement.

In order for the modern slavery legislation to be effective, we have outlined what we feel are most important.
