Sustainable procurement and modern slavery are closely intertwined. Sustainable procurement offers a powerful tool for addressing and eliminating modern slavery in supply chains. By making sustainable procurement a priority, organizations can help to create a more just and sustainable global economy.

Modern slavery is a term used to describe the most serious forms of exploitation. It describes situations where coercion, threats, or deception is used to exploit victims and undermine their freedom.

For example, the introduction of the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 (the Act) requires entities that conduct business in Australia with an annual revenue of at least AU $100 million to comply with the Act and publish annual Modern Slavery Statements in an online register. However, not all businesses and organisations are fully aware of the modern slavery legislation in Australia and
their roles and reporting obligations, reporting criteria and more.

Register now for our next virtual seminar; “Building Resilient Supply Chains: The Importance of Sustainable Procurement and Risk of Modern Slavery”- joining our special guest speakers as we look
at building a resilient supply chain from the lens of sustainability.

– Dr Stephen Morse, CEO, Unchained Solutions on “How to educate industry professionals on Modern Slavery”.
– Jo Bailey, Founder Jo Bailey SP, Former Chair NSW CIPS, and Former CPO in NSW Government on “Leading Sustainable Procurement (ISO20:400) to Contribute to a Sustainable World”

The New York Times* recently reported that globally, 91% of manufacturing businesses struggle to manage supply chain complexities and almost half of all supply chains have experienced increased complexities in the past couple of years.

Poor management of supply chain complexities leads to lack of supply chain integration, coordination, synchronisation of data and information sharing, and this will lead to reduced profit, poor performance, difficulties in supplier relationship and increased risks.

So, how can we better assess and manage supply chain complexity?

Develop insights and an understanding of how leading practitioners and academics are addressing these challenges.

Join us to hear from leading international experts Professor James Aitken from the University of Surrey, United Kingdom and Dr Mohsen Varsei from Australia.

Efficiently flowing supply chains are essential to the success of all organisations, be they in tangible “goods-based” industries such as manufacturing, construction, and wholesaling or “service-based” industries including retail, hospitality, education, and professional services. In competitive markets, consumers expect to get what they want, when and where they want it.

As logistics and supply chain professionals, it is our responsibility to prioritize customers’ needs and preferences - inventory shortages damage brand loyalty, so well-optimised supply chains are essential to survive.

CILT Shaping Future Supply Chains: Sustainability and Emerging Trends Online Webinar

Key themes of sustainability, digitalisation and innovation were addressed through a range of insightful presentations by international subject matter experts.

Over three days, we networked with peers across the globe, sharing knowledge and experience from careers in logistics, transport, and supply chain.

Presentations from our international colleagues CILT Next Generation and WiLAT Global provided inspiring stories of how CILT is shaping the future of the profession.

Finally, we had a chance to visit Western Australia's largest and busiest general cargo port, the Fremantle Ports, which facilitates trade that is vital to WA and all of Australia.

Thank you CILT Australia, Karyn Welsh, FCILT and Kim Hassall.

Yesterday, the NSW Section arranged for a private tour of one of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects, the Western Sydney International (WSI)!

Joined by NSW Deputy Chair Mark Lee, our group of CILTA NSW Members departed the Sydney CBD for the WSI Airport Experience Centre, where we heard from Vicki and Carol. They provided an insightful presentation on the progress and developments of the airport and answered questions from our Members.

The WSI airport is on track to begin operations in 2026 and is a transformational infrastructure project generating economic activity and employment (over 28,000 jobs) for Western Sydney. The WSI will be a full service airport, operating curfew free and delivering international, domestic and freight services to meet Sydney's growing aviation needs (set to double over the next 20 years).

A big thank you to the WSI Airport Experience Centre for hosting us!
