Responsible business in conflict-affected or high-risk areas: What companies need to know and act upon
Companies doing business in conflict-affected areas face a higher risk to cause, contribute or be linked to adverse human rights impacts. How can companies ensure they respect human rights and comply with international humanitarian law when doing business in conflict-affected or high-risk areas? This webinar gives an overview of what companies need to know about conducting heightened human rights due diligence (HHRDD) and operating in a conflict-sensitive manner.
Certifications, social audits and supplier management tools: What is their role in human rights due diligence?
Social audits, certifications or supplier management tools are increasingly used by companies as part of their corporate responsibility strategies. These sustainability schemes share a common objective: providing tools and support for companies in the identification and management of social or environmental issues in the value chain. However, applying such schemes does not replace the implementation of a thorough human rights due diligence. This webinar discusses the contributions and limitations of voluntary sustainability schemes in companies' human rights due diligence.
