In this free webinar, an expert panel will discuss:
- how companies with wide-ranging supply chains can effectively assess and mitigate ESG risks with a particular focus on human rights issues,
- how corporates can ensure meaningful compliance with new legislation like the corporate sustainability due diligence directive, and
- practical strategies and best practices for cross-jurisdictional human rights investigations.
These challenges are topical for companies across Europe and the US as they face increasingly complex regulatory requirements and a shifting geopolitical landscape impacting their supply chains.
