Awareness has been growing since the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015. BRE’s conference on the 6th November brings together leading practices in the construction industry. If you are thinking about your approach to responsible and ethical sourcing then this day – with 27 speakers (including Alice, Chris and Danny) and many delegates to network with – will provide a rich source of knowledge.

BRE operates the Responsible Sourcing (BES 6001) and the Ethical Labour Sourcing (BES 6002) verification schemes. If you would like to know more please contact our Sustainable Products team via enquiries@bregroup.com.
