The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Roundtable Topic: Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act
We invite you to join your ACCBC peers to talk about legal and other relevant trends affecting Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains.
The Act came in force on January 1, 2024 and imposes an obligation on many Canadian entities to report on the measures taken to prevent and reduce the risk of forced labour or child labour in their supply chains. The first reports under this Act are due by no later than May 31, 2024.
This roundtable is an opportunity for ACC BC in-house counsel to discuss the Act and how they have (or will) comply with it.
Our roundtables have no formal agenda! Agenda topics for the discussion are determined by the participants of the roundtable.
Bring your recommendations, questions and challenges to a table of in-house counsel, and gain valuable feedback and solutions from your peers.
These small group discussions are private, candid, and designed to provide peer support - by in-house, for in-house.
