UN Global Compact Network UK is organizing a four-part webinar series on Climate & Human Rights.
Increasing pressure for mandatory human rights environmental due diligence forms part of a growing body of international legislation which businesses will be expected to comply with. Ensuring their operations are consistent with existing legal principles helps companies avoid legal challenges to their activities. Complying with existing legislation will help companies adapt to these changes and avoid costly and time-consuming law-suits.
This session will open with a keynote speech which will provide a high-level overview of the nexus between climate action and human rights for business. It will review existing reporting frameworks and the links between them, as well as explore the business case for Mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence Legislation and provide practical guidance for pre-emptive action.
This session is part one of a four-part Climate Action and Business & Human Rights webinar series that will support companies to take holistic action to address climate and human rights-related issues by raising awareness, addressing challenges, and demonstrating practical actions. Registration is open for the other three parts as well:
Miten kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet integroidaan osaksi vastuullista liiketoimintaa ja miten tavoitteiden edistymistä seurataan? Millainen merkitys SDG-tavoitteilla on sijoittajalle ja mitä haasteita vastuulliseen sijoittamiseen liittyy?
Join to be briefed on recent regulatory developments in the EU and internationally and learn what actions that are expected from companies.
Hosted by the UN Secretary-General, the Private Sector Forum brings the voice of business to the UN for an interactive luncheon, roundtables and high-level networking opportunities.
