Name
From Risk to Resilience: Implementing Effective Human Rights Due Diligence
Description
Businesses face increasing expectations from legislators, investors, consumers, employees and communities to identify, assess and address human rights risks across their value chains. Financial priorities can sometimes overshadow the most severe impacts on people, and internal stakeholders may not always agree on prioritizing business human rights impacts. This session will explore how prioritizing "people-impact" and future-proofing businesses can be mutually beneficial, offering strategies for integrating human rights priorities at the leadership level, where decisions on capital allocation, business modelling and governance are made. This session is for senior leaders in strategy, finance, legal, operations, supply chain, sustainability and cross-functional management and senior leaders overseeing enterprise risk management, partnerships, growth and development.
