RE: Rothschild.com's Modern Slavery Act Statement for 2016
I did a search for this document and other companies apparently post it as well
It probably means there is a law for a specific type of business Rotschild & Co engages in that makes it mandatory for a company to make such a statement.
You'll probably find a part of the answer looking for section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The text is written in the usual jargon accountants & lawyers are familiar with, and the kind you will find in yearly Financial Statements or Annual Reports.
Right on... but why??? Why would this be needed - seems fishy to me. I will look into it.
I dont' know... because they wanted to make it look like they are concerned and ''doing something'' about it?
Here in Canada, when a large number of people with influence and/or power commit specific crimes related in nature and/or by relationship, instead of legally prosecuting these people we create a commission on ''said systemic problem'' where the suspects are summoned to answer questions in public. They are made to feel free about talking of their wrong doings in exchange, I believe, for the promise that they won't be held criminally responsible for what they'll reveal. And then, the commisionner(s) file its/their report and the government decides if some changes to the law should be made. I wouldn't really call this justice. ;-)
