Approaches to repair of the social dimension of economic globalization forged ahead last year with the implementation of the social provisions in CUSMA, the passage of modern slavery legislation ( with more promised in 2024 ), and a flurry of sudden activity by the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise ( CORE ).
Please join this panel for a timely and informative analysis of the international and domestic trends and patterns now underway - by government, the courts, the business community and civil society, alike- aimed at increasing businesses’ focus on the social impact of their activities at home and abroad.
An understanding of the body of social reform is imperative for corporations not only to ensure continued compliance with the changing state of the law but also to protect reputation and brand.
The panel will go one step further . It will seek to enlighten participants on the anticipated trajectory of social reform. Some visibility around the shape and substance in coming years may prove extremely useful.
Please join us for a rich discussion on the past, present and future direction of social reform and its implications for corporations in the era of Business and Human Rights (BHR).
