Why this matters

Modern slavery is reshaping supply chain governance

Modern slavery is becoming a significant governance and supply chain risk. As expectations evolve across New Zealand and Australia, organisations need greater visibility into where risks exist and evidence that appropriate due diligence is being undertaken.

Traditional approaches based on supplier questionnaires and manual assessments provide only a point-in-time view, making it difficult to identify and prioritise higher-risk suppliers.

Generate Zero combines global and local intelligence with advanced data analytics to help organisations identify, assess and continuously monitor modern slavery risks. This supports a practica a practical, evidence-based approach to due diligence and governance.

Preparing for New Zealand's proposed regime

The proposed legislation is still progressing through Parliament and may change before becoming law. The Act is expected to come into force approximately six months after Royal Assent.

What this means for New Zealand organisations
Organisations should begin establishing practical due diligence processes now, so they are well positioned as requirements become clearer. The core expectations around governance, due diligence and transparency are already well established internationally.
KEY COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
Identify
Higher-risk suppliers, countries, sectors and commodities.
Manage
Record investigations, supplier engagement, remediation and outcomes.
Assess
Prioritise suppliers for enhanced due diligence using risk-based methods.
Govern
Maintain audit-ready evidence for Board and regulatory reporting.
Reporting threshold: consolidated revenue of more than NZD $100 million in a reporting period.
Generate Zero Solution

A data-driven due diligence workflow

From general ledger to audit-ready evidence, in three steps

01

Map where modern slavery risk sits in your supply chain

Upload your general ledger. The platform cleans, classifies and scores your data to identify local and global supplier risk.

02

Understand your supplier level risk

Identify sources of risk and access statements where available, plus local compliance data from sources such as labour, employment, health and safety, and regulatory agencies.

03

Build the evidence base for your statement

Create a clear, auditable record of identified risks, due diligence activities and actions taken, providing the evidence needed to support modern slavery reporting and compliance.1 Heart reaction.
