GPSI Named Sector Initiative Learning Partner for IAEG and AIRPro, Leads Critical Webinar on Preventing Modern Slavery Risks

,

Dorval – January 20, 2026 – Global Partner Solutions Inc. (GPSI) is proud to announce its status as an EcoVadis Sector Initiative Learning Partner, contracted to support the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) Working Group 11 and Aviation Initiative for Responsible Procurement (AIRPro), an EcoVadis-powered sector initiative, effective April 2025.

Building upon its established role as an EcoVadis accredited Consulting Partner since 2023, this expanded partnership underscores GPSI’s commitment to guiding the aerospace industry toward sustainable development. As part of this initiative, GPSI will lead a crucial capability-building webinar focused on preventing modern slavery risks within global supply chains.

GPSI leverages extensive experience in the aerospace sector to support companies in navigating the complexities of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance. The transition from a Consulting Partner to a Sector Initiative Learning Partner highlights the organization’s capacity to provide not just strategic advice, but also practical educational resources. This expertise makes GPSI an ideal partner to support manufacturers and integrators as they strive to meet evolving sustainability standards and ethical requirements.

“Our deep roots in the aerospace industry allow us to provide practical, actionable solutions for complex challenges like modern slavery. As a Sector Initiative Learning Partner, we are committed to empowering organizations to build resilient, ethical supply chains that meet evolving global standards,” said Shantala Hickey, Head of Sustainability Division at GPSI. “We are proud to lend our expertise to this initiative, ensuring suppliers have the knowledge necessary to improve management systems and contribute to the eradication of forced labor.”

The partnership’s immediate focus is addressing human rights risks. With an estimated 28 million people in forced labor in different industries globally and increasing legislative pressure from regulations like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the need for diligent supply chain management is urgent. To address this, GPSI will present, alongside Airpro and IAEG, the “Building Ethical Supply Chains: Addressing Child Labor, Forced Labor & Human Trafficking” webinar. This event is part of a free-of-charge, joint capability-building program launched by AIRPro and IAEG designed to help suppliers close performance gaps.

Professionals in ethical sourcing, procurement, compliance, and sustainability are invited to register for the webinar, which offers actionable steps to improve ESG performance. Session 1 takes place on February 11 from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm CET, and Session 2 is scheduled for February 18 from 8:30 am to 9:30 am CET. Interested parties can register for the event at https://sector.ecovadis.com/lp/iaeg-airpro-initiatives-supplier-webinar/.
