Register Today for this Free, Educational Webcast: Forced Labor – The Potential Impact to Your Global Supply Chain
Presented by Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Global Trade
Each year, reports show human trafficking and forced labor continue to be prevalent in the global supply chain. In response, the push to regulate supply chain due diligence is increasing globally, along with associated enforcement due to the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Companies can no longer afford to consider this area of risk a low priority.
Join AIAG, Thomson Reuters and CBP for a 60-minute webcast on Wednesday, February 26 at 1:00 p.m. EST for an update on Forced Labor initiatives, the steps being taken to achieve an effective approach by both government and trade, and actions to take to ensure your company is doing its part.
