As global supply chains face overlapping crises, shifting regulations, and increasing complexity, Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is becoming more than a compliance requirement — it is a driver of business resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable value creation.

This session brings together voices from business, communities, and government to share real-world experiences from HRDD practices across diverse sectors. Discussions will emphasize people-centered approaches that elevate the voices of workers, communities, and civil society — demonstrating how collaboration among stakeholders can overcome barriers and deliver measurable human rights improvements.

Speakers will also showcase innovative tools, scalable approaches, and technological solutions that help businesses embed human rights into decision-making across thousands of suppliers. The session will further explore how to align emerging legal requirements with UN Guiding Principles-based practices, ensuring consistency, practicality, and long-term impact.
