Battling modern-day slavery in the tech supply chain

Technology Now

About this episode

In this episode we are looking at the topic of modern day slavery in the tech supply chain, examining where it can be found, and what can be done about it.

To tackle this important topic, we’re joined by humanitarian photographer and anti-slavery activist Lisa Kristine, founder of the Human Thread Foundation.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
