The modern slavery reporting platform used across the automotive aftermarket sector
The modern slavery reporting platform used across the automotive aftermarket sector
Manage complex supply chains, streamline supplier due diligence, and collaborate with industry peers through a shared platform built for the sector.
Trusted by organisations across the automotive aftermarket sector
Modern slavery reporting is becoming more complex across automotive aftermarket supply chains
Global sourcing, multi-tier supply chains, and growing regulatory expectations are placing increasing pressure on procurement, ESG and legal teams.
Organisations must collect reliable supplier disclosures and assess risks across workforce practices, supply chain arrangements, and third-party relationships.
They must also produce clear reporting for regulators and stakeholders.
No organisation can solve these challenges alone.
Why the automotive aftermarket platform exists
Shared risks require shared solutions
Automotive aftermarket supply chains are global, layered, and constantly evolving. International sourcing, third-party manufacturing, labour engagement, and limited visibility beyond tier one can create complex modern slavery risks.
The sector now works together through the platform to:
- Use one shared Modern Slavery Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) to reduce duplication
- Lift capability across the industry through shared learning and regular collaboration opportunities
- Deliver stronger evidence for internal and external reporting with consistently better supplier disclosures

How the automotive aftermarket platform works
Collect, assess, and report on modern slavery risk through one connected platform built for compliance, transparency, and continuous improvement.
Establish your baseline
Upload your supplier list to instantly generate country and industry-based inherent risk ratings, giving you a clear baseline of modern slavery risk across your supply chain before deeper assessments begin.
Ratings informed by trusted data sources including:
- Global Slavery Index
- Corruption Perceptions Index
- Global Peace Index
- Social Progress Index
Engage suppliers with the shared SAQ
Assess modern slavery risk across key supplier practices:
- Organisational context, including structure, ownership and geographic footprint
- Governance and controls, including reporting, policies, training and accountability
- Worker protections, including grievance mechanisms and remediation
- Operations and employment practices, including labour hire, recruitment and migrant workers
- Supply chain visibility and sourcing, including higher-risk countries, goods and services and onboarding practices
- Identification and management of modern slavery risks and incidents
Suppliers only see questions relevant to them thanks to conditional logic.
Report & Improve
Automatically score SAQ responses to assess supplier, human rights, and modern slavery risk using configurable models.
Interactive dashboards, reports, and report builder tools give procurement, risk, and leadership teams shared visibility to prioritise action and track improvement across their supply chains.
Bring together internal ESG and supplier data including spend, risk ratings, and assessments in one secure platform. Integrate trusted intelligence sources such as Dow Jones, Dun & Bradstreet, and Sedex.
Move beyond reactive reporting to strengthen governance, improve supplier accountability, and embed modern slavery performance in decision-making.
When organisations act independently across the sector
These issues can arise:
- Reporting becomes repetitive and low value
- Risk scoring varies widely
- Duplication becomes entrenched
- Suppliers receive multiple, inconsistent requests
- Effort increases without better outcomes
A shared, sector-wide platform helps reduce duplication, improve consistency, and strengthen modern slavery risk reporting.
