Event Details
Canada
At the start of 2024, Canada introduced legislation aimed at combating modern slavery within supply chains. This act was designed to fulfill Canada’s international human rights commitments by imposing reporting obligations on certain government institutions and entities to address forced and child labour. With the first reporting year now complete, Public Safety Canada has presented its findings to Parliament and issued updated guidance. As we look ahead to 2025, we will be discussing the refreshed guidance to the modern slavery reporting requirements and potential future legislation.
Topics
- Four reasons why modern slavery reporting matters
- Overview of Canada’s new modern slavery reporting legislation
- What’s new for year two
- A look back at the first year of reporting
- Potential future due diligence legislation
Speakers
