ONLINE Taking Your Next Steps: A Follow-up Workshop 03NOV2026

Overview

Addressing forced labour and labour exploitation in your business and supply chain is not a once off exercise, but rather an on-going good practice journey. To support businesses to go further in reducing the risk of forced labour in their business and supply chain this Advanced workshop provides additional practical support to producers and agri-businesses.

Since launching our specialised industry programme in 2017, Stronger Together has trained over 2000 South African agri-business representatives. To support businesses to go further in reducing the risk of forced labour in their business and supply chain Stronger Together have developed a new half-day workshop to provide additional practical support to producers and agri-businesses.

In partnership with the Wine and Agricultural Ethical Trade Association (WIETA) and the Sustainability Initiative South Africa (SIZA), “Taking Your Next Steps: A Follow-up Workshop for Agri-Businesses, South Africa” is designed for those who have attended the one-day Detecting, Deterring and Dealing with Forced Labour in Agri-Businesses workshop and would like additional support to further implement the expert guidance and embed the changes within their business and supply chains.

By the end of the workshop attendees will:

• Have increased understanding of how to implement immediate, medium and long-term steps for mitigating the risks of forced labour in businesses and supply chains
• Engage in peer-to-peer sharing of challenges and the key sticking points for implementation
• Develop practical solutions-focused approaches for overcoming challenges and have an understanding of best practice
• Know how to become a Stronger Together Champion in their area
• Be equipped with tools and resources to support them to take action.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Those who have already attended Stronger Together’s one-day Detecting, Deterring and Dealing with Forced Labour in Agri-Businesses workshop.
• Those representing businesses from which a representative has previously attended Stronger Together’s one-day ‘Detect, Deterring and Dealing with Forced Labour in Agri-Businesses’ workshop and who already have a good understanding of forced labour.

How sessions run:
