AmCham Singapore: Forced Labor and Supply Chain Risks

Steven Okun represented APAC Advisors at the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham Singapore), where he co-led a session with Andrey Sawchenko of International Justice Mission on forced labor risks in supply chains. The discussion emphasized that businesses must go beyond compliance and treat the elimination of forced labor as both an operational and financial imperative, particularly in Southeast Asia where migrant worker protections are often limited. The session was moderated and facilitated by Noemie Viterale, who guided an interactive discussion on definitions, blind spots, red flags, and technology solutions.
