ESG Legislation Escalation and Enforcement in the Global Supply Chain

Thursday, April 20, 2023 at 11:00 AM EDT | 5:00 PM CET

Of the many ESG concerns that impact global companies today, one of the most consequential issues found within the vendor supply chain is human exploitation, which includes forced labor. The 2021 U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) has had an immediate impact on companies since its inception. In 2022 alone, 3601 shipments were detained, seized, or destroyed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Similar acts including Europe’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD) and Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCDDA) increased the attention and actions of governments worldwide to eradicate forced labor in global supply chains.

Join us on Thursday, April 20th, for a complimentary Global Trade Academy webinar that details the differences between key forced labor programs, their impact on demand sensing, product sourcing, and the need for greater visibility in the supply chain to help companies meet updated legal requirements.

In ESG Legislation Escalation and Enforcement in the Global Supply Chain, you will:

• Receive updates from the CBP Forced Labor Technical Expo
• Understand the difference between global programs requiring mandatory reporting vs. due diligence requirements
• Learn how companies are rebalancing their supply chains and managing the impact on sourcing
• Become familiar with the technology used to identify the DNA of your shipment
• Review CBP Withhold Release Orders (WRO) case studies to identify how companies can strategize to protect themselves from shipment detentions
• Recognize how to initiate or update your forced labor program to meet the requirements of new and emerging legislation worldwide
