The Canadian public sector is increasingly prioritizing sustainability to drive positive outcomes for economic, environmental, and community well-being. Canadian public-sector leaders have the opportunity to lead the way in setting the standard for ethical procurement practices, driving positive outcomes for both their organizations and society as a whole. However, with the introduction of regulations like the Canadian Modern Slavery Act (formerly Bill S-211), the pressure to ensure responsible sourcing practices is greater than ever.
This session was an exclusive workshop designed specifically for procurement leaders within the Canadian public sector. It delved into the intricacies of sustainable procurement and its alignment with regulatory requirements such as the Canadian Modern Slavery Act. We explored practical strategies to navigate reporting obligations, collaborate with suppliers, and mitigate risks associated with forced labor and other ethical concerns in the procurement process.
By watching this workshop, you will:
- Develop a thorough understanding of the implications of Canada's new due diligence regulation.
- Acquire the skills to empower and lead procurement teams for compliance and positive impact throughout their supply chain.
- Explore how technology advancements and trends, widely adopted in both private and leading public sector organizations, accelerate progress and facilitate efficient and effective risk management.
