Alexandra will review Canada’s still new Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (commonly referred to as the Modern Slavery Act). She will examine the Act’s objectives, its impacts on businesses in Canada, and its role in promoting transparency and accountability. By exploring the legal framework, you will gain insight into how the Modern Slavery Act cultivates corporate accountability, encourages ethical sourcing practices, and supports the global effort to prevent modern slavery and uphold human rights in supply chains.
