The May 31st Deadline: Is Your BC Company Supply Chain Compliant?
As we enter the 2026 reporting cycle for Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, many BC based entities are finding themselves under the microscope.
Transparency is no longer a "nice to have", it is a federal requirement with a May 31, 2026 deadline. While this is federal law, its impact on BC’s construction, retail, and manufacturing sectors is significant.
Does your entity need to report? You are likely captured if you do business in Canada, are listed on a Canadian exchange, or meet two of these three thresholds:
- $20 million in assets
- $40 million in gross revenue
- 250 or more employees
The report must detail your due diligence processes, how you identify risks of forced labour, and what measures you have taken to remediate any issues found. Failure to file can result in fines of up to $250,000.
The Takeaway
