Human rights and environmental due diligence is an increasingly important business discipline, fueled by customer demands, an increasingly employee-driven job market, and legislation such as the Lieferkettengesetz, the EU CSDDD, and the EU CSRD. This session combines insightful presentations with an interactive workshop, focusing on human rights issues within global supply chains. Participants will explore the challenges faced by workers and the environment, understand the business risks associated with poor human rights practices, and examine ways to drive systemic change. Who should attend? Anyone curious about getting a first glimpse into the origins and impacts of their consumption choices, the effects and risks of business activities, and what all the buzz around ESG is really about, beyond mere compliance.
