Prevent Forced Labour and Child Labour in Your Supply Chain

Prevent Forced or Child Labour in Your Supply Chain

Canada’s new Anti-Slavery Act: Compliance Requirements and Supply Chain Impacts
Parliament passed Bill S-211: Are you ready to meet the new requirements?

Bill S-211 took effect on January 1, 2024. This new law aims to combat forced labour within Canadian supply chains and comes with sizable reporting requirements for many private and all public companies.

Like many other G20 economies, Canada’s new law has significant bearing on Canadian businesses and government organizations. It will likely impact and cause many organizations to deeply consider supply chains, financial commitments, legal obligations, and contractual/ third party arrangements.

As Canadian businesses become aware and start to grapple with the varying complexities and measures to identify, reduce and prevent forced or child labour, the formalized reporting deadline of May 31, 2024 looms closer by the day.

Join MNP's diverse, globally experienced professionals as they provide insights into many questions on everyone's mind:

  • Which businesses are affected by this new law?
  • What do Canadian organizations have to do?
  • What is Canada’s ‘Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act’?
  • How do I get to compliance and provide a valid report to the federal Minister by the May 2024 deadline?
  • What are leading practices and smart tips?

In this session we will dive into the Act, its expectations and compliance requirements. Experienced-based insights and pragmatic activities will help you understand what the Act means for your business and provide a pathway to achieve compliance, certification and reporting. The Act will require a cross-functional approach to help get the ball rolling and deliver an assessment that will enable executive comfort, Board certification and sound reporting to the federal government.
