Summary

The study shows the effects that human trafficking can have on a company’s operations, highlighting possible disruptions to both current operations and to business development. The study argues that companies whose involvement in human trafficking has been highly publicized have often been forced to find new sources of supply due to the public outrage, appealing to the unique position the private sector has to take action on this issue.
