As the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) turn 15 this year, our webinar series explores how companies can strengthen their human rights work both nationally and across global value chains – with practical insights for Nordic businesses.
The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) turn 15 this year, marking a decade and a half of defining the global standard for responsible business conduct. Yet many companies still struggle to turn the principles into practice.
Human rights expectations for companies are rising faster than ever. New regulations, shifting investor demands and growing public scrutiny mean that no business can afford to treat human rights as a side issue. At the same time, global risks, from conflicts to climate impact, are making value chains more vulnerable and increasing the likelihood of harm to people.
This is the moment to close that gap. Acting now not only protects people, it strengthens resilience, reduces risk and builds the trust every company needs to thrive. Our five-part event series gives you the tools, insights and networks to take the next step.
The event series is free of charge and open to all. It is aimed especially at company representatives.
All webinars are held virtually on Zoom. Each session will be recorded and we will send the link to the recording to registered participants.
You’re very welcome to join any of the sessions that interest you most – but there is no requirement to attend all five. However, we do warmly encourage it, as each event builds on the other and together they give a fuller picture of the topic.
