| dc.description.abstract | This report examines the current environmental and social due diligence legislation landscape within the Canadian context and Canadian supply chains acting abroad. In recent years there has been a push from stakeholder groups, non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) and additional advocacy groups for stricter and mandatory environmental and human rights legislation and policy. This research finds that Canada has historically lagged in adopting and applying mandatory environmental and human rights compliance due diligence legislation for their supply chains in international contexts. Furthermore, this research illustrates that despite some progress, a significant gap in environmental and social due diligence legislation in Canadian supply chains continues to exist. Lastly, Bill S-211, and Bill C-262 illustrate Canada’s shift towards ensuring the protection of people and the environment within Canadian supply chains acting nationally and internationally. | |
