Canadian industries seek extension on country's human-rights supply chain law
The act, passed in May, seeks to push corporations to provide greater transparency about their supply chains in order to avoid abetting what critics say amounts to modern slavery. The new measure takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024.
"We just want time to be able to do a better job when we start reporting, that is why we are seeking a one-year extension." Bob Kirke, executive director of the Canadian Apparel Federation, told Reuters that an extension was in the interest of everyone as there is no clarity on what exactly those "rules" are.
In May, Canada's corporate ethics watchdog initiated an investigation of Nike and Dynasty Gold Corp on allegations that the companies benefitted from forced labour from the Xinjian province in China in their supply chains.
