AEL CCS catalytic investment offers a panacea for modern day slavery as it lingers in decarbonisation silos as child, forced, unpaid labour and low wages especially with transition minerals. Some decarbonisation silos have 'freelance' arrangements where exploitation is rife in business development, consultancy and 'ad hoc' structures.

Corporates have a duty of care to ensure that wages are uniform with their home jurisdiction minimum wage requirements, otherwise they inadvertently repudiate modern day slavery statements, participate in modern day slavery leakage and human rights violations. By twinining downstream wage visibilty with carbon footprinting, the modern day slavery statement evolves from just being a checkbox exercise to a global wage equality standard.
