BEST PRACTICES FOR FORCED LABOUR REPORTING
CANADA PUBLISHED BEST PRACTICES ADVICE FOR FORCED LABOUR REPORTING
As we wrote here, Canada joined the United Kingdom and Australia last year in adopting a joint global reporting template for forced labour and child labour disclosures. The new template consolidates the legislative reporting requirements of all three countries and is intended to simplify reporting for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
In practice, Canadian reporting entities often face challenges in producing properly scoped reports that align with Public Safety Canada’s expectations. In response, Public Safety Canada (“PSC”) has published "Best Practices" tips and updated resources, aimed at improving report quality and supporting ongoing compliance under the Supply Chains Act.
