Overview

The regulatory landscape for Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is rapidly evolving, with frameworks like the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) setting new standards. These regulations require businesses to integrate human rights protections across global operations and supply chains. This roundtable will bring together leaders from the UN Global Compact, U.S. government, and private sector to explore strategies for embedding human rights in corporate structures, emphasizing supply chain accountability and the benefits of proactive human rights approaches.

Key Objectives

• Understand the evolving HRDD regulatory landscape in the U.S. and EU.
• Highlight the role of transparency and accountability in supply chains.
• Explore the advantages of going beyond compliance.
