Section 1: Annual Reporting Commitment
In alignment with Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Bill S-211), FB Canada Express has developed a comprehensive policy and program dedicated to identifying, preventing, and mitigating risks of forced labour and child labour within our operations and supply chain.
This initiative underscores our strong commitment to upholding fundamental human rights, fostering a safe and fair working environment, and promoting sustainable and ethical practices across all areas of our business.
By adopting internationally recognized standards for forced labour mitigation and collaborating with key stakeholders, including suppliers, partners, and regulatory authorities, we aim to proactively address the risks associated with forced labour and child labour and contribute to a more ethical, transparent, and accountable global business environment.
Through this policy, we strive to empower our employees, suppliers, and partners with the knowledge, tools, and guidance necessary to identify, prevent, and respond to instances of forced labour and child labour effectively.
By integrating this program into our organizational culture and supply chain management practices, we reinforce our dedication to compliance with international labour standards, ethical sourcing principles, and Canadian regulatory requirements.
This report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and outlines the steps taken by FB Canada Express during the reporting period of April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 to prevent and reduce the risk of forced labour and child labour in its operations and supply chains.
Section 1.2: FB Canada’s Commitment to Prevent and Reduce Forced Labour
Forced labour refers to situations where individuals are coerced to work against their will under threat, punishment, or other forms of coercion. It deprives individuals of their freedom and basic rights and often leads to exploitative working conditions and serious human rights violations.
Child labour refers to the employment of children in work that deprives them of their childhood, potential, and dignity, and that is harmful to their physical or mental development. This includes work that is hazardous, exploitative, or interferes with their education and well-being.
FB Canada Express recognizes that, as a company involved in supply chain operations and trade facilitation, we play a critical role in preventing and reducing the risks of forced labour and child labour.
To meet our obligations, FB Canada Express commits to the following actions:
- Taking reasonable steps to understand and promote compliance with labour laws and ethical standards among suppliers, vendors, and partners
- Implementing a risk-based approach to identifying and addressing potential forced labour risks within our supply chain
- Collaborating with relevant stakeholders and industry partners to follow best practices
- Providing training and awareness programs for employees on recognizing and reporting forced labour and child labour
