WHY ATTEND THIS WEBINAR

Get crisp, practical guidance on Canada's S-211/Modern Slavery reporting—what's required now, what's changing next, and how to operationalize due-diligence without blowing budgets.

  • Clarity, fast: Cut through ambiguity on scope, reporting, and supplier due-diligence
  • Risk first: Target high-risk tiers with data-driven screening and traceability
  • Do-now actions: A 90-day plan you can run before year-end filings
WHY IT MATTERS NOW
  • Heightened regulator/board scrutiny, investor expectations, and brand risk
  • Tight labour and volatile supply push firms to near-shore and dual-source—raising third-party risk that must be demonstrably managed
  • 2025–26 will bring tighter assurance, greenwashing rules, and deeper human-rights DD
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
  • The current state of S-211: who's in scope, what to file, and common pitfalls
  • A lean, audit-ready reporting workflow (roles, evidence, controls, KPIs)
  • Supplier risk radar: heat-mapping methods, red flags, and remediation paths
  • Roadmap "Next": what changes to anticipate and how to future-proof
PERFECT FOR

Professionals across procurement, sourcing, category management, supplier quality, logistics, operations, compliance/ESG, risk, finance, legal, and executive leadership—from manufacturing, energy, retail, public sector, healthcare, tech, agri-food, construction, 3PL/logistics, and more.

All levels welcome (analyst to C-suite).
