The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, commonly referred to as Canada’s Modern Slavery Act, came into effect on January 1, 2024. This legislation requires certain businesses to publish annual reports outlining the steps taken to prevent and reduce the risk of forced labour and child labour in their operations and supply chains. These reports aim to increase transparency, promote ethical sourcing, and uphold human rights across industries.
At Stahl Peterbilt, we recognize that modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking, is a serious violation of fundamental human rights. We are committed to full compliance with the Act and to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in all aspects of our business. Our approach includes:
- Assessing supply chain risks and working only with partners who share our commitment to ethical practices.
- Implementing policies and procedures to identify and mitigate risks of forced or child labour.
- Training and awareness for employees and suppliers to ensure compliance and accountability.
- Continuous improvement through monitoring and reporting to strengthen our practices year over year.
By publishing this report, we reaffirm our dedication to transparency and responsible business conduct. Together, we strive to ensure that our operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation and aligned with international human rights principles.
