Greetings from Geneva! Join us on International Human Rights Day for an interactive debrief session on the UN Business and Human Rights Forum 2025! The Forum – organised this year for the 14th time – is the world's largest annual gathering on business and human rights.
The regulatory frameworks governing corporate actions in the context of sustainability and corporate responsibility issues are evolving rapidly. After a long period mainly shaped by industry self-regulation, companies now face comprehensive expectations, detailed both in soft law standards and – increasingly – hard law.
This webinar will explore how those in the construction industry can embed just transition principles into corporate reporting, aligning with frameworks such as TCFD and CSRD. Speakers will discuss setting measurable goals, improving transparency, and strengthening governance and accountability for long-term impact.
