This week witnessed significant developments in the realms of trade, sustainability, and corporate responsibility. The Ports of Los Angeles (LA) and Long Beach have launched a groundbreaking initiative by offering incentives for zero-emission trucks, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of transportation in the region. Simultaneously, U.S. imports from Asia surged to a 2023 high in October, underlining the continued importance of trans-Pacific trade. Additionally, Canada has taken a bold step towards combatting child and forced labor by enacting a new law that mandates executives to identify and address these issues within their supplier networks.
