Business and Human Rights: “Is This Even Relevant to Our Company?”
, Hosted By Covington & Burling LLP
Wednesday, June 14, 2017 - 5:30 AM
Businesses are under increased pressure to address human rights impacts throughout their global supply chains. The latest proposal in the U.K. to incentivise increased compliance is a criminal offence of “failure to prevent human rights abuses”. How should businesses respond?
Our webinar will address:
-
What we mean when we talk about “human rights” and why the issue is topical for business
-
The rise in national legislation and “soft law” and potential future developments in the pipeline
-
Is there a real litigation risk?
-
How is business responding?
