TRACIT promotes best practices and lessons learned across sectors to help protect supply chains from forced or trafficked labor.” Read the full media release. ----------------- London, 28 September 2017 – Today in London, the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade (TRACIT) participated in a panel discussion on illicit trade, hosted by the Financial Times. “Illicit trade compounds business’ efforts to protect their supply chain – and multiplies costs,” said TRACIT Director-General Jeffrey Hardy. “Stepping up efforts to ensure integrity in the global supply chain is paramount.
