When slavery isn't abolished—but outsourced | Bonnie Nixon | TEDxJacksonville

There are an estimated 28 million people living in modern slavery today. Many of them made something you're holding right now. Dr. Bonnie Nixon’s work explores the intersection
of environmental justice and modern slavery, highlighting how consumer goods like your smartphone are manufactured through complex global networks.

The question Dr. Nixon has spent her career asking — and answering — is the one most of us avoid: if slavery was never abolished but simply outsourced, what does that make the rest of us? Unwitting participants, perhaps. But participants who still have a choice.

What You'll Learn:
How multi-tiered supply chains obscure labor exploitation
Why auditing systems fail to catch forced labor
What consumers and corporations can actually do differently

Who This Is For:
For sustainability professionals, procurement leaders, educators, and any conscious consumer who has ever wondered how many hands — and under what conditions — brought any product to their door.

Dr. Bonnie Nixon brings decades of expertise in multi-tiered supply chains at Hewlett Packard, Walmart, Mattel and many other fortune 100 corporations. Her worldwide standards, auditing, reporting and training work exposes the "invisible" nature of labor exploitation and demonstrates how slavery was never abolished but simply outsourced. Dr. Nixon owned Circlepoint, Inc., an environmental planning and communications consultancy for seventeen years and today owns BonnEco advisory services, directs sustainability at the Port of Long Beach and is a Professor of Sustainable Supply Chains at UCLA and USC.
