Hi Peter
I just wanted to update you on the upcoming conference 'Modern slavery, forced labour and human rights: The business case beyond compliance’ (18th-19th October, London).
The forum is designed to provide business delegates with the guidance to develop and implement robust human rights strategies, whilst remaining compliant with all emerging legislation.
You can see full details of confirmed speakers, along with the key themes and agenda items online: www.innovationforum.co.uk/conferences/modern-slavery-human-rights/agenda
Agenda highlights include:
Co-op, The Freedom Fund and Baroness Lola Young debate whether modern slavery legislation has driven change or solely compliance
Are audits a waste of time, or an effective regulatory tool? Nokia, Manor Fresh and The Body Shop provide their perspectives
Hear from Hilton, Freshfields and Nestlé on the effects of emerging legislation, what compliance will require and how much it will cost
Mondelēz and Save The Children join us to discuss how child rights can be protected and promoted in agricultural supply chains
John Lewis, Siemens and British American Tobacco share best practice on creating better visibility, mapping risk and prioritising resources within complex supply chains
We’ll also run a number of practical sessions assessing company initiatives around living wage, responsible recruitment, gender empowerment, human rights disclosure and more.
We will be welcoming additional senior professionals from Twinings, Disney, Next, Anglo American, Finlays, JLL, ING, Dixons Carphone, Ocado, Danone, Allianz Global Investors, The B Team, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, International Justice Mission, BT, Know The Chain, Unseen, Reckitt Benckiser, Chartered Institute of Buildings, Corporate Human Rights Benchmark, Stronger Together, Hope For Justice, Global Reporting Initiative and many more.
If you would like to join, take advantage of our early bird discounted rate, saving £300 (ends Friday, August 24th). Registration details can be found here.
Please do get in touch if you are interested in being involved as a delegate, sponsor or for information on group discounts for your team.
Warm regards,
Shen
