Countdown to Compliance: Bill S-211 Reporting Deadline May 2026

Have you assessed your forced and child labour risks this year?

With the May 2026 reporting deadline for Canada’s Bill S-211 on the horizon, Canadian businesses need to ensure they’re well underway to assess and reduce their forced and child labour risks to produce their Annual Report. Non-compliance can result in fines up to $250,000. Now is the time to act.

Improving each year unfortunately means more administrative burden

While businesses might feel confident about repeating last year’s compliance steps, it’s important to acknowledge that re-evaluating and enhancing the process each year adds more to the team’s workload. It’s not just a rinse-and-repeat scenario; accuracy and improvement demand more effort annually. Many businesses fall into the trap of leaving it to the last minute only to realise the task has doubled in size compared to the previous year.

This year, businesses face the challenge of not just repeating the same compliance tasks but also refining them, which adds extra workload and complexity. That’s where the Supply Chains Act Reporting Tool comes in. It lightens the burden by providing a streamlined, efficient, repeatable way to reassess supply chain risks and manage Bill S-211 reporting responsibilities. It’s the most affordable and complete tool for the job.
