British risk analysis company Verisk Maplecroft has released its latest “Human Rights Outlook” describing the top human rights risks to businesses in 2017. The company says that a tightening of U.S. immigration policies under President Donald Trump could grow the risk of slavery and labor abuses against undocumented workers in the country as they are forced “under the radar.” The report also indicates a greater risk for slavery “blind spots” in areas like shipping, cleaning, and security.
