New Supply Chain Act Requirements for May 2024: RCC Member Briefing

This Friday, February 23, 2024 representatives from Public Safety Canada will be presenting to RCC’s Responsible Sourcing Committee on the requirements of the new Supply Chains Act (formerly Bill S-211). 

Under the new law, medium and large businesses are required to issue annual reports on what actions they are taking to reduce the risk of child and forced labour in their supply chains.  In December 2023, Public Safety Canada issued Guidance on compliance and the first reports are due by May 31, 2024.    

During the session, Public Safety will also be answering frequently asked questions about the Guidance and will provide an opportunity for member questions.
