The energy industry can play a massive role in combating human trafficking.
As the energy industry is intertwined with most aspects of the global economy, vigilance against human trafficking is critical. From extraction and construction projects where workers are relocated temporarily for project-specific work, to complex supply chains that must be closely managed and monitored, to intersections with trucking and logistics, energy industry employees may encounter human trafficking.
Furthering their sustainability goals, anti-trafficking initiatives demonstrate an energy company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. On a local level, as energy companies adhere to strong safety standards and invest in the well-being of the communities in which they operate, efforts to eradicate human trafficking align with the industry’s core values.

Establish an internal anti-human trafficking policy.
Companies should implement a policy to ensure they are not complicit in any practice that may constitute human trafficking or modern-day slavery. A robust policy also serves an important preventative measure because it addresses the demand for labor exploitation and commercial sex which feeds this crime.
