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?
