The modern slavery reporting platform for the energy utilities sector
The modern slavery reporting platform for the energy utilities 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 energy sector
Modern slavery reporting is becoming more complex across energy supply chains
Large-scale infrastructure, distributed networks, and multi-tier supplier ecosystems are placing increasing pressure on procurement, ESG, and legal teams.
Energy organisations must collect reliable supplier disclosures and assess risks across contractors, subcontractors, and labour engagement across geographically dispersed operations.
They must also produce clear, defensible reporting aligned to evolving regulatory expectations and stakeholder scrutiny.
No organisation can solve these challenges alone.
Why the Energy Utilities platform exists
Shared risks require shared solutions
Energy procurement and supply chains are long, layered, and critical to national infrastructure. Contracting models, field-based workforces, and global sourcing create complex modern slavery risks that cannot be addressed in isolation.
- Use one shared Modern Slavery Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) to reduce duplication
- Lift capability across the industry through shared learning and collaboration
- Deliver stronger evidence for internal and external reporting with more consistent supplier disclosures

How the Energy Utilities 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
- Organisation profile, including structure, workforce, footprint, and reporting obligations
- Workforce composition, including labour hire, outsourced labour, migrant workers, and recruitment practices
- Supply chain activities, including sourcing, subcontracting, and overseas exposure
- Governance and controls, including policies, due diligence, risk assessment, audits, and supplier engagement
- Worker protections and remediation, including grievance mechanisms and response processes
- Training and continuous improvement to strengthen supplier capability
Suppliers only see questions relevant to them through conditional logic.
Report & Improve
Automatically score SAQ responses to assess residual supplier, human rights, and ESG risk using configurable models.
Review results alongside inherent risk and external intelligence to prioritise high-risk suppliers. Interactive dashboards provide shared visibility across procurement, risk, and leadership teams.
Bring together internal ESG and supplier data, including spend, risk ratings, and assessments, in one secure platform with integrations to trusted data providers such as Dow Jones, Dun & Bradstreet, and Sedex.
Move beyond reactive reporting to strengthen governance, improve supplier accountability, and embed ESG performance into 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 reduces duplication, improves consistency, and strengthens modern slavery risk reporting.
Collaboration advantage
A sector-wide working group that actually works
The Informed 365 EPSA Collaboration brings together leading energy organisations to address modern slavery risks collectively. It is supported by expert facilitation from Robin Mellon, CEO of Better Sydney.
The collaboration includes:
- Monthly cross-industry meetings, with guest speakers from government, civil society and industry
- Shared analysis of aggregated supplier data and trends
- ~100+ learning resources circulated annually
- Continuous refinement of the shared SAQ
This collaboration keeps the platform aligned to real supply chain challenges and legislative expectations.
Founded with the Energy Procurement Supply Association, Informed 365 launched the platform in 2020 to support a shared, industry-led approach to modern slavery reporting.
Developed in partnership with leading energy organisations, the platform helps aligns how the sector identifies, assesses, and reports on modern slavery risks across supply chains.
Designed for organisations across the energy procurement and supply sector, including:
- Energy utilities and network operators
- Transmission and distribution providers
- Generation companies
- Energy infrastructure and asset operators
- Procurement, ESG, and supply chain teams
- And more
Platform impact
Visible uplift across the sector:
- Thousands of suppliers reusing their SAQ each year
- Millions of data points mapped across governance, labour and supply chain controls
- Higher supplier completion rates, with more consistent reporting across the energy utlilites sector
- Measure how many of your suppliers access learning resources and lock in continuous learning to tackle modern slavery
