Beyond compliance: The evolving due diligence framework for global value chains

About the event

As regulatory expectations on human rights and environmental due diligence continue to expand, organisations face increasing pressure to demonstrate not only compliance, but also effective and credible due diligence practices across their value chains.

Regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the EU Forced Labour Regulation (EU FLR), the EU Battery Regulation (EUBR) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) may differ in scope and requirements, yet organisations face the same fundamental challenge: how to build an integrated due diligence system that can identify, assess, manage and evidence risks in a consistent and scalable way.

This executive roundtable will bring together sustainability, legal, compliance, procurement and supply chain leaders to discuss how organisations are responding to these developments and preparing for the new generation of due diligence expectations.

Why attend?

Participants will gain practical insights into how organisations are moving from fragmented compliance initiatives towards integrated due diligence programmes that support regulatory readiness, operational resilience and stakeholder confidence.

The session will encourage the exchange of perspectives, experiences and emerging practices in an open, peer-to-peer setting.
