U.S. Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) upcoming bill aims to hold large American companies responsible for ensuring there is no slave labor in their supply chains.

The Slave-Free Business Certification Act expands corporate supply chain transparency requirements, orders regular audits, mandates CEOs to certify that their companies’ products do not rely on forced, slave labor, and penalizes companies that fail to meet these basic standards.
