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.
