This episode features an interview with David Wray, President of DFCG International Group.

In this episode, David shares with us the work that needs to be done with sustainability reporting and how it’s connected to financial reporting, how to keep businesses and CFO’s responsible for monitoring modern slavery in the supply chain, and how we all have a part to play in making a difference for the next generation.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s important to take into context how different cultures and parts of the world view and define “child labor” or “slavery” in order to have thoughtful conversations that can lead to solutions for these problems.
• Collecting data with due diligence is key, and in order to make sure the data is accurate, there needs to be more regulation and controls on how particular data is collected, what kind of data is collected, and what’s being done with that data.
• Seizing the moment as a leader is looking forward, allowing for exploration, adapting, learning, being agile and looking at how to be part of the solution.
