In May 2023, the Parliament of Canada passed the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the Modern Slavery Act). This introduces annual mandatory public reporting for many companies operating in Canada on how they are addressing the risks of child and forced labour in their business and supply chains, with financial penalties for non-compliance.
With the first reports due in May 2024, this webinar equips companies to start acting now.
Key topics:
- What are the drivers behind this legislation
- How does this compare to similar laws in other countries
- How have other companies met and exceeded these requirements
- How best to prepare for complying with the new law
