Managing human rights risks in challenging markets – investors role and tools for mitigating the risks

8.6.2022 klo 8:30 - 10:30
  • Tämä tapahtuma on mennyt.

How can a responsible investor make sure that human rights are respected in its portfolio companies or in their supply chains? What useful tools and practices can be adopted?

Securing the respect of human rights and the do no harm principle within investments and in their supply chains is not always an easy task. This is particularly important in challenging markets, such as developing countries, where the legal regulation may not address even decent work or prevention of child labour.

In this event, you will hear about the following topics:

  • In the field of human rights due diligence, what current trends and regulations there are to follow?
  • How to get started with human rights assessments, and what tools can be used in the process?
  • How to move from assessing to managing human rights impacts?
  • Lessons learned
