Companies face a growing need to address the human rights risks within their transport and logistics operations, whether they are providers or consumers of such services. Driven by growing regulatory and stakeholder expectations of deeper value chain due diligence, this historically under-scrutinized sector is coming under the spotlight.

This event will draw on insights gained from recent assessments and conversations with member companies on current efforts and challenges to address human rights risks in transport and logistics. BSR will share key takeaways and considerations for companies involved in, or relying on, transport and logistics services. These will include the principal risks and challenges in the sector, gaps and opportunities in current approaches, and potential paths to move forward, including through collective action.

This event is open to all and is aimed at both transport and logistics providers and customers of those services. If you are from a large multinational company with transport and logistics operations that would like to connect, please email us at web@bsr.org to learn more about our offerings.
