in the field of Production

The first reports under Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (S-211) were filed and made public on May 31 of this year.  These reports represent the first instance in which many global companies have had to provide detailed disclose of their efforts to mitigate the risks of forced and child labor in their supply chains – and highlighted common gaps that expose many organizations to significant risks.  With customs detentions due to suspicions of forced labor at an all-time high and additional due diligence reporting requirements likely to follow in the next year, companies must assess their areas of risk exposure and build practices to address those risks.

Join us as we explore findings from the analysis of hundreds of S-211 filings, recent research on supply chain due diligence practices and detention readiness, and best practices to ensure your company is embedding responsible business practices across its operations.
