As the government’s central purchaser, PSPC is strategically positioned to facilitate incremental change in this area by ensuring that suppliers of goods and services apply the highest ethical standards across their supply chains.Under the National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking, and as part of a whole-of-government approach, PSPC is committed to safeguarding federal procurement supply chains from human rights abuses. To this end, a dedicated policy team has been mandated to address forced labour and human trafficking in federal procurement supply chains, including by working with suppliers to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities in their operations and supply chains.A risk analysis of PSPC’s supply chains completed in May 2021 determined which categories of goods were at the highest risk of exposure to human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. The assessment is an important step to understanding the vulnerabilities of supply chains, and the results are key to developing an evidence-based approach to address human trafficking in federal procurement supply chains. PSPC has developed an ethical procurement action plan that includes the following recommendations from the risk assessment:Prepare tools and awareness materials for vendors on the results of the risk assessment and risks of forced labour in supply chainsAssess requirements for an ethical procurement policy and human rights due diligence strategyConduct engagement sessions for suppliers of high-risk goods to raise awareness
