The UK Modern Slavery Act
In 2015 the United Kingdom published the UK modern slavery Act. The act forces every company matching a turnover of more than 36 Million £ per year (in UK) to declare in a public statement the measures to prevent slavery and servitude, forced or compulsory labor and human trafficking in its value chain. Here you can find Silicom´s statement to fulfill the UK Modern Slavery Act in relation to Section 54 of the Act.
