Join Us for This Informative Webinar
Join us for an insightful webinar where representatives from Supply Chain Canada, the preeminent organization representing Canadian supply chain professionals, joins forces with Shift Critical International, Canada’s most experienced team in helping companies navigate the country’s new modern slavery legislation. Together, they will shed light on the nation’s supply chain infrastructure, share lessons learned now that the first disclosure deadline has passed and discuss the importance of staff training as a key component of due diligence.
Our panel of corporate sustainability, supply chain and modern slavery experts have conducted numerous child labour and forced labour supply chain risk assessments, authored modern slavery reports and crafted associated questionnaires during this inaugural reporting season. This webinar will offer the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and practical insights, transcending mere theory.
