Human Rights Due Diligence - Navigating the Key EU Laws

Introduction

The regulatory landscape surrounding human rights due diligence and sustainability reporting is continually evolving.

From the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (‘CSDDD’) to the EU Forced Labour Ban Regulation, companies headquartered or doing business in the EU are called to adopt effective due diligence systems to ensure human rights violations are identified and mitigated.

Doing so not only enables companies to fulfil their duty to respect human rights but also allows them to future-proof their business against reputational and financial damage and legal repercussions.

This new virtual classroom seminar will explore the key EU laws mandating human rights due diligence and discuss ways companies can align their strategies with these legal requirements.
