GitHub has incorporated its Statement Against Modern Slavery and Child Labor into its Site Policy repository as part of an initiative to open source its policies for other companies to adopt. Although modern slavery and child labor are not typically linked to the software industry, GitHub recognizes the potential risk within various industries and is committed to preventing such abuses in its operations and supply chain. The statement, which exceeds UK Modern Slavery Act requirements by applying to suppliers as well, emphasizes GitHub's partnership with the FairHotel Program to promote fair labor practices. An annual update of the statement is planned to reinforce this commitment, and GitHub will discuss this initiative at RightsCon. Abby Vollmer, GitHub's Director of Platform Policy and Counsel, is leading the efforts to implement these policies and engage with policymakers to support the company's stance on human rights issues.
