This event is part of Business and Human Rights Group trainings and workshops, and only targeted for members of that group. The members of the group can confirm their participation by registering for the event.
The Working Group focuses on the most up-to-date developments in the area of business and human rights, as well as provides its members with practical tools and best practices to use on their own human rights journey.
In this session we will focus on collaborative approaches and joint initiatives for addressing systemic human rights challenges. We will look into opportunities and challenges in leveraging joint initiatives in preventing and mitigating systemic human rights risks and addressing root causes of adverse human rights impacts in different kinds of supply chains and operating environments.
In this session we will address
- Key features of different types of collaborative initiatives addressing systemic human rights challenges.
- Benefits of collaborative approaches versus individual company efforts.
- Challenges in making collaborative approaches and joint initiatives work in practice and how to tackle them.
- How to engage key stakeholders in a meaningful manner in joint initiatives.
