Global companies with complex supply chains are grappling with an increasingly complicated web of human rights-related regulations and expectations. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, litigation, and/or reputational damage.

  • Background including UN and OECD guidelines
  • Selected legislative developments in the US, Canada, UK and EU including:
    • US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act
    • Forced labor / modern slavery legislation in California and Florida
    • US National Action Plan on Responsible Business Conduct
    • Canada Supply Chain Act
    • UK modern slavery legislation
    • EU forced labor regulation
    • Interplay between Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and forced labor legislation in France, Germany and the Netherlands
