The Mekong Club is a catalyst for change, uniting and mobilizing businesses to bring about sustainable practices towards the fight against modern slavery. Given that the majority of modern-day slavery exists in the private sector, these companies are ideally placed to help turn the tide of this global epidemic.

The only organisation of its kind, The Mekong Club steers away from the approach taken by other players in this space, which is to ‘name and shame’ companies – ousting bad behaviour or issues related to this subject. Instead, we believe in starting and ending with collaboration.

In fact, The Mekong Club originally formed as a direct response to the growing number of companies looking to develop strategies to address forced labour risk through a professional forum. Divided into industry-specific working groups, these networks meet regularly to learn, share best practices, and network with other like-minded professionals. Member companies also work together to achieve an annual deliverable which will work towards producing tangible results in the fight against forced labour.

We have identified four industries within the private sector that we believe have the greatest opportunity to impact change. They are: financial services, apparel & footwear, hospitality providers and retailers.
