The unusual has become the usual. The unthinkable is now happening. A global pandemic, the financial crisis of 2008 and the outbreak of wars have taught us that anything unexpected can happen. And these have significant ripple effects on the economy and our organizations. Today, any given crisis will likely have significant impacts on multiple areas of your business - and odds are companies may be faced with dealing with multiple crises at the same time. Beyond day-to-day risk mitigation and problem-solving, how are general counsels leading your organization in preparing for and addressing managing potential crises? 

General counsels are invited for a discussion on planning for risk management, business continuity and responding to a polycrisis.   

Schedule
5:00 PM | Cocktails
6:00 PM | Dinner and Discussion
8:30 PM | Conclusion

Topics
1.  How do you go about scenario planning for potential crisis?
2.  What steps can you take now to mitigate damages from a crisis?
3.  How can you get senior leadership support such planning to address possible what-ifs?

ACC Ontario and Bennett Jones LLP invite you to join us for an in-person discussion on supply chain transparency and what the new public reporting requirements in Canada's new Supply Chains Act mean for businesses.

The new Supply Chains Act introduces a mandatory requirement for many companies to file public reports disclosing what they do to prevent and reduce the risk of forced labour and child labour in their supply chains. Together with Canada's existing prohibition on the importation of goods made with forced labour or child labour, this new requirement facilitates the increasingly intense scrutiny of supply chains by the public, stakeholders, and regulators.

With the first reports due in May 2024, companies need to act now to enhance their due diligence and proactively identify and mitigate the risk of forced labour or child labour in their supply chains.

The session will include an interactive discussion facilitated by Faithlyn Hemmings of GM Canada, on the professionalism challenges facing in-house counsel, including how to communicate legal risks and obligations to internal stakeholders and how to secure buy-in for required process changes or investments.
