正文(英文) | Geneva, 18 January 2021: Human rights due diligence is a crucial means to manage risks in corporate supply chains. Making robust human rights due diligence part of standard business practice is key to advancing corporate respect for human rights and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ensuring that human rights are integrated into business planning will also be critical to the success of building forward better from the COVID-19 pandemic. On 10 December of last year, the Geneva Centre for Business and Human Rights (GCBHR), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) jointly hosted an online panel discussion commemorating International Human Rights Day by discussing the challenges and concrete solutions to implement human rights due diligence in complex, global business operations. The session was opened by a video-recorded keynote speech from Prof. Anita Ramasastry (Chair, UN Working Group Business Human Rights), and followed by a discussion with Dante Pesce (Vice-Chair, UN Working Group Business Human Rights), Richa Mittal (Senior Director Supply Chain Innovation & Partnership, Fair Labour Association - FLA), Vera Galarza (Senior Director Social Impact, ALDO Group), André Podleisek (Head of Corporate Sustainability, Schindler Group) and Peter Nestor (Head of Human Rights, Novartis). Some key takeaways from the discussion include:
Company representatives on the panel once again confirmed their commitment to managing human rights risks in their operations and supply chains. All panelists supported the need for a more proactive role by business associations and agreed that collaborative initiatives play an important role in helping to define and enforce a level playing field of human rights expectations for companies.
