• In the wake of recent US legislation, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, we seek to compare approaches in global efforts against social exploitation. Canada’s proposed Modern Slavery Act follows other modern slavery laws already enacted in the UK and Australia, reflecting momentum against inequity and developments in supply chain compliance. It’s up to companies to incorporate these new rules into its business practices.

  Join us in conversation about how companies can focus on the S in ESG.
