The term modern slavery is defined in section 4 of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and refers to situations where coercion, threats, or deception are used to exploit victims and deprive them of their freedom. The Act identifies eight types of serious exploitation as modern slavery: trafficking in persons, slavery, servitude, forced marriage, forced labour, debt bondage, the worst forms of child labour, and deceptive recruiting for labour or services.
Port Authority of NSW is committed to taking reasonable steps to prevent, mitigate, and address the risks of modern slavery within its operations and supply chains. This commitment includes ongoing improvements in the management of modern slavery risks.
Minimising modern slavery risks aligns with Port Authority’s strategic goal of embedding sustainability across the organisation. Monitoring and addressing these risks in operations and supply chains is a key component of Port Authority’s sustainability plan and reflects best business practices.
Port Authority will continue to assess and respond to modern slavery risks in its operations and supply chains. For more information, please refer to our Modern Slavery Statement.
