High Liner Cuts Ties: Bill S-211 on the Horizon

Bill S-211, Canada's new law effective January 1, 2024, mandates transparency and ethical practices in supply chains, targeting forced and child labor. Companies must disclose actions against forced labor annually, with non-compliance leading to financial penalties. High Liner Foods' response to a supplier involved in forced labor highlights the need for diligent supply chain management. This law is not just about compliance; it's an opportunity for businesses to improve global labor practices, requiring risk assessments, due diligence, and clear policies against unethical labor.
