Given the potential that multi-stakeholder initiatives and industry coalitions may have to cascade corporate policies on eliminating trafficking in persons across sectors, and the role the Special Rapporteur can play in providing a powerful and neutral platform, the mandate holder will continue to explore further engagement with such initiatives, specifically to: (a) Reinforce voluntary standards on trafficking in persons and identify good practices in that area, by providing feedback and expert advice in standard revision processes and by co-developing capacity-building activities for the initiatives and their stakeholders; (b) Enhance workers’ voices within the standard-setting process, and in monitoring mechanisms, through the identification of good practices in workers’ participation in monitoring schemes and the development of capacity-building programmes; (c) Identify good practices, and draft guidance and recommendations, for the establishment of corporate grievance mechanisms and remediation that address the needs of workers effectively; (d) Analyse the impact that non-financial disclosure regulations have on company policies on trafficking in persons. IV. Conclusions and recommendations 63.

Improving awareness of trafficking in persons and risk practices among the stakeholder base is a prerequisite to establishing a standard that can effectively evaluate company performance in preventing and addressing trafficking in persons. The embedding of workers’ voices as an alternative source of information on company performance must be guaranteed. Audit methodologies must be reviewed to ensure that third-party audits are performed under optimal circumstances, that the resources necessary to collect the voices of workers are allocated and that auditors have the skills necessary to evaluate trafficking in persons risk practices. Multistakeholder initiatives and businesses must identify solutions in order to ensure a 13
