Head of Chambers, Kennedy Talbot KC spoke at last night’s Peters & Peters ESG event, addressing the crucial intersection of modern slavery and money laundering in global supply chains.

The discussion explored the UK’s growing legal focus on corporate responsibility, the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and the role of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) in tackling illicit financial flows arising from exploitative practices.

As supply chains become more complex, so does the legal obligation on companies to ensure transparency and integrity—not only for compliance, but for ethical and financial resilience.

Thank you to Peters & Peters for hosting such an important conversation at a time when ESG considerations are central to legal risk and reputational management.
