Canada, the U.K. and Australia Release Joint Modern Slavery Supply Chain Reporting Template

Canada’s supply chains legislation, the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Act), requires reporting entities to complete and submit to the federal government a mandatory online questionnaire and report about measures taken to prevent and reduce the risk of forced and child labour in their supply chains during their previous fiscal year.

To assist reporting entities in meeting and streamlining supply chain transparency reporting obligations across three jurisdictions, Public Safety Canada, in collaboration with the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Australian governments, have worked together to release a common international reporting template for supply chain reporting (Template).

While this optional Template does not change the reporting obligations under the Act, it may make processes simpler for companies that need to report in more than one of these jurisdictions.
