Responsible business conduct: what challenges lie ahead?
Webinar on 10 November 2020
About the webinar
There’s a public debate around stricter due diligence duties for international companies and high-risk SMEs, designed to eliminate negative impacts on human rights and the environment in their global supply chains. The Responsible Business Initiative and the counterproposal offer two different paths towards this shared goal. Voters will decide at the end of November.
To learn more about the challenges and expectations, we invite you to join our webinar on 10 November.
To learn more about the due dilligence requirements of the Responsible Business Initiative and the counterproposal read our online article.
Expert panel
- What are the implications for socially responsible enterprises and their directors? Do benchmarks and best practices exist?
- Has there been progress on uniform, reliable and transparent ESG metrics allowing meaningful comparisons of engagement?
- What are the policy measures, legislative and otherwise, that could make a real difference?
At our webinar we’ll be joined by a panel of experts to discuss these questions in light of the latest trends and regulatory developments in Switzerland and abroad.
