The Canadian Parliament passed Bill S-211 or the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act on May 3, 2023, to protect vulnerable populations from human rights abuses and exploitation. The bill took effect on January 1, 2024.

NBS’ The Shoe Room is required to report annually on goods imported from outside Canada, to reduce and prevent the risk that operations, including those of third parties within the supply chain, make use of forced and/or child labour.
