Supply Chain Canada

MODULE 1: Understanding Forced & Child Labour in Supply Chains

Forced and child labour aren't distant problems—they're embedded in global supply chains, often hidden in Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers beyond your direct oversight. This module equips you to recognize the multiple forms of forced labour, distinguish child labour from legitimate work, and understand the systemic drivers behind modern slavery including poverty, weak enforcement, and global business pressures. Learn how to assess risk using Product, Industry, and Total Spend factors, and why distance from the problem doesn't protect your organization from accountability. Master supply chain mapping and proactive risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities before they become compliance failures or reputational crises.

MODULE 2: Canada's Supply Chains Act—Compliance Essentials

Canada's Supply Chains Act creates mandatory reporting obligations for organizations listed on Canadian stock exchanges or with Canadian operations meeting size thresholds ($20M assets, $40M revenue, or 250 employees—2 of 3 required). This module breaks down the May 31st annual reporting deadline, the Customs Tariff amendment that prohibits importing goods made with forced or child labour, and exactly what risk assessment measures must be documented and publicly disclosed. Learn why being a foreign subsidiary doesn't exempt you, what penalties up to $250,000 mean for personal liability, and how non-compliance affects anyone who authorizes or consents to violations—not just directors. Get compliance right before scrutiny intensifies.
