Abstract
On 1 January 2012, innovative legislation came into force in the US state of California. The Transparency in Supply Chains (TISC) Act focuses attention on the problem of human trafficking in global supply chains,1 seeking to encourage large firms doing business in California to take the issue of trafficking seriously and obliging them to report on the steps that they are taking in this direction. The focus on supply chains was also central to US President Barack Obama’s major statement on trafficking in September 2012, in which he announced a series of measures which aimed to ‘eradicate’ these worst forms of labour exploitation from the global economy, both by encouraging action on the part of firms and by putting in place rules relating to government procurement processes. In 2014, a Bill which aimed to transpose the substance of this legislation to the federal level was introduced in Congress.2
