Modern Slavery and Deforestation: two sides of the same coin?

 

The ‘E’ and  the ‘S’ of ESG are inextricably linked. This has long been the rallying cry of the environmental justice movement in the US and abroad.

The goal of this study is to summarize requirements, application areas, and limits for remote social compliance audits in general, and provide an overview of potential technological applications for remote social compliance audits as well as specific aspects that apply to Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) production (e.g. traceability). Furthermore, the study describes success factors as well as risks and limitations of remote audits, verifications and assurance processes.
