2024 is set to be a pivotal year for sustainability regulations. Emerging regulatory changes are requiring companies to conduct “due diligence” on human rights and environmental impacts in their value chains. This is challenging companies to consider whether their approaches to identifying, assessing, and addressing these impacts are aligned and consistent with regulatory expectations.
To achieve this, companies are realizing the need to build bridges between different functions, moving away from siloed approaches to human rights and environmental impacts towards a more integrated understanding of sustainability aligned with business needs.
Please join us in San Jose alongside the Responsible Business 2024 conference for a private discussion regarding how to approach environmental and human rights due diligence within the evolving regulatory landscape. Key questions to be explored include:
- What are the standards underlying the concept of sustainability due diligence and how does this relate to how the human rights and environmental fields have traditionally interpreted “due diligence”?
- How are companies thinking about the links between their human rights and environmental due diligence?
- What are the key concerns for business leaders?
- To what extent do emerging regulations require companies to connect, align or integrate their approach to human rights and environmental impacts?
- How can human rights, environmental, and procurement teams work towards a more aligned approach to due diligence that leverages touchpoints and synergies as appropriate?
This event is for corporate practitioners and especially those in sustainability, environmental, human rights, procurement, and leadership functions. We encourage you to register for the event together with your colleagues from across those teams for a more impactful session.
Event is at capacity and registration is now closed.
