Staff Training on Canada's Modern Slavery Act for Professionals

Canada’s Modern Slavery Act mandates organizations to demonstrate that their staff is trained in the areas of forced and child labour.

We now offer comprehensive training on modern slavery risk assessment and corporate supply chain compliance as required by the Canada Modern Slavery Act (2023).

SHIFT happens.

A global shift to an ESG mindset has emerged. Market access and investor confidence are increasingly tied to non-traditional measures of performance. And, demonstrating strong ESG performance metrics is no longer driven solely by the need to attain stakeholder support and social license to operate - it’s crucial for business survival.

ESG frameworks have emerged as critical components
for sustainable business growth. Shift Critical offers customized services to identify and manage the risks, and the opportunities, to capitalize on this shift.

Our innovative solutions help businesses secure investor confidence, enhance enterprise value, and build a cohesive network of stakeholder advocates.

“Working with Shift Critical over this past year has been an eye opening experience. Being a company within an emerging industry means that we have a fairly niche requirement. Shift helped us design and implement a new ESG strategy and supporting framework from scratch. Their reputation as a team of leading sustainability experts is warranted and they certainly did not disappoint. I would highly recommended this team for any company looking to develop an ESG strategy.”
