Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hiring clients screen contractors for forced labour and supply chain risk as part of environmental, social, and governance pre-qualification, and Canadian supply chain legislation has raised the bar. A configured forced labour element expects a real policy.
This document states your company's forced labour policy in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the prohibition on forced, bonded, indentured, and child labour, the position on human trafficking, supply chain and supplier due diligence, the reporting channel, worker training, and the consequences of a breach. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a forced labour answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written policy prohibiting forced, bonded, indentured, and child labour
- The position on human trafficking and the freedom of workers to leave employment
- Supply chain and supplier due diligence
- A reporting channel for concerns, without retaliation
- Worker training on the policy
- The consequences of a breach

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require a forced labour policy in the ISNetworld ESG questionnaire. It applies to any contractor whose hiring clients screen for forced labour and supply chain risk as part of pre-qualification. If a hiring client's ESG configuration flags forced labour, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the forced labour review the first time
- Cover the supply chain. The document addresses due diligence on suppliers, since forced labour risk often sits up the supply chain. A reviewer expects that scope.
- Include a reporting channel. The document covers a route for raising concerns without retaliation. A reviewer expects that channel to exist.
- Keep the policy current. Review the policy as Canadian supply chain legislation and your operations change.
