26 SET 2023 · When will a company be held responsible if its employees are involved in wrongdoing? Are all companies measured by the same degree of accountability? And how is anti-corruption legislation applied when multiple jurisdictions are involved?
The UK is strengthening its anti-corruption legislation, making significant changes that will introduce a statutory test for corporate criminal liability, introducing a new strict liability offence of failure to prevent fraud, and expanding the investigative powers of the UK’s Serious Fraud Office. In this episode, we explore what impact these significant changes will have on Canadian and other international businesses.

22 AGO 2023 · In June, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) was amended for the first time in over 20 years. The most publicized amendment was the recognition that every individual has a “right to a healthy environment.” But even more significant for industry will be the changes to assessment and management of toxic chemicals, prohibited substances, and expanded government information powers.
This episode examines how CEPA works, why it took so long to pass the amendments, and what the changes mean for industry and individuals. How will they affect what substances are used in everyday products? Is this “right” to a healthy environment anything more than legislative greenwashing?
