In our continued effort to support businesses in adhering to ethical practices, Bennett Jones, in partnership with GHY, is thrilled to present a comprehensive webinar focused on the nuances of Bill S-211—also known as the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act—and its subsequent amendments to the Customs Tariff. This legislation marks a pivotal advancement in eradicating forced and child labour from Canadian supply chains, and our session aims to guide stakeholders through its key components.
Discussion highlights will include:
- understanding the legal framework around forced labour within Canada;
- exploring the enforcement strategies of the import ban concerning goods manufactured through forced labour;
- clarifying the new reporting mandates for enterprises under the Supply Chains Act;
- emphasizing the importance of meticulous import and customs documentation for legal compliance;
- sharing effective practices for supply chain transparency, including the authentication of suppliers and the origin of products; and
- the significance of incorporating statements against forced labour in procurement processes.
Tailor-made for entrepreneurs, supply chain administrators, compliance authorities and all entities engaged in international commerce with Canada, this webinar will provide an invaluable opportunity to enrich your understanding of the legislative responsibilities concerning forced and child labour in supply chains. Register now and take a step forward in ensuring your business practices align with global ethical standards.
