Enserva is hosting an information session about Canada’s Modern Slavery Act on January 23 from 12:00pm – 1:30pm at the Calgary Petroleum Club. This session is open to all Enserva members and lunch is included with admission.
This session will feature a presentation by Shift Critical International, an executive sustainability advisory firm based in Calgary. The firm’s co-founders, Craig Stenhouse and Frank McShane, will delve into the specifics of this new Canadian law. They will provide insights into the Act’s background, its potential impact on your company, the necessary steps to meet your legal disclosure and staff training obligations, and offer practical advice on meeting compliance requirements.
Background
In 2023, the Federal Government introduced a significant piece of legislation known as Canada’s Modern Slavery Act (The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act). This Act is part of the Government’s broader initiative to combat forced labour and child labour in global supply chains.
The Act is came into effect on January 1, 2024.
As a member of Enserva, it’s important to understand that this legislation could have implications for your company. The Act introduces new compliance requirements, including annual reporting obligations to the government and the public about your corporate supply chains, as well as staff training requirements. Furthermore, it establishes personal liability for corporate directors and officers.
