Understanding the upcoming EU directive on human rights due diligence

Supply chains have been in the spotlight this year due to trade wars and COVID-19. Regulatory oversight of how companies manage those supply chains has also been growing over the last few years, with legislation such as the Modern Slavery Act and Conflict Minerals regulations. This year, the EU has put in place a wide proposal for mandatory corporate environmental and human rights due diligence. 

During this webinar we will discuss these business and regulatory trends and how companies can prepare to manage their obligations.  

Key takeaways:
• Learn the new rules for mandatory corporate environmental and human rights due diligence in the EU 
• What needs to be done - strategies for building a compliance program, taking into consideration the EU directive  
• Immediate actionable and practical steps to take in response to the directive
