JTW-JME-11 Justice, Trade & Work Justice & Market Ethics CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Modern-slavery supply-chain audit

Evaluates the organization's due diligence in auditing its supply chain for modern slavery. This is critical for upholding ʿAdl (justice) and Ḥifẓ al‑Nafs (protection of life). Allah commands justice and excellence: “Indeed Allah orders ʿadl and iḥsān…” (Quran 16:90). This frames modern-slavery due diligence as a duty of institutional iḥsān—designing systems that prevent harm, not merely reacting to incidents, safeguarding vulnerable workers from zulm (oppression) and protecting the organization's ethical integrity.
