Human Rights Due Diligence in the Asia Pacific Region: The Path From Voluntary to Mandatory

Human rights due diligence (HRDD) is rapidly gaining ground across the Asia Pacific (APAC), as governments have taken steps to adopt clearer expectations for how companies manage human rights risks in their operations and supply chains. Although European countries have led in the past on legislative reform on this front, countries in the Asia Pacific are rapidly moving in the direction of HRDD as a strategic opportunity to improve investor confidence in the production and supply chains.

This webinar will explore what these developments mean for companies operating in or sourcing from countries in the APAC region, with a focus on: 

• The regulatory landscape in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and New Zealand
• Strategies to streamline compliance with multiple due diligence and reporting regimes
• Practical steps to strengthen supply chain due diligence and prepare for evolving expectations 

 Join us to gain insights into how human rights due diligence is evolving across APAC —and what your organization can do now to stay ahead of the next wave of regulation.
