MSHT Awareness on Ethical Supply Chains Act
The Salvation Army welcomed the 2023 enactment of Ontario’s Modern Slavery Act (Bill 211), a major step forward in protecting vulnerable people around the world. Join us as we explore why this legislation matters, how The Salvation Army evaluates and reports on our purchasing activities, and the practical actions we are taking to reduce the risks of forced labour and child labour in our supply chains. We will also look at the role each of us plays. Every purchasing decision whether made as an organization or as an individual has the power to contribute to or combat exploitation. Together, through informed choices and shared responsibility, we can make a meaningful difference in the fight against modern slavery.
