Global Affairs Canada Renews And Expands Its Responsible Business Conduct Strategy For Canadian Companies Abroad
Global Affairs Canada is renewing its strategy for supporting Canadian companies’ Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) abroad. While previous iterations were focused on the extractive sector, Global Affairs Canada is expanding the RBC strategy to address all economic sectors. Feedback received by October 16, 2020 will be considered in developing this strategy, anticipated to guide Canada’s support for Canadian business abroad over the next five years. These developments highlight the need for Canadian companies in all sectors to monitor their activities abroad and develop strategies to ensure appropriate conduct. The Issue Paper, published by the Government of Canada, suggests that the government is paying close attention to these matters and is likely to take further action in this area going forward.
