Initiatives related to "business and human rights" are becoming more active in Japan. In September 2022, the Japanese government established the "Guidelines for Respecting Human Rights in Responsible Supply Chains, etc."Furthermore, in Western countries, human rights due diligence legislation has been enacted, and as a result Japanese companies are increasingly being forced to respond.On the other hand, some people in charge of Japanese companies may only have a vague idea of what kind of response would be necessary in the event that actual or potential human rights violations are discovered in the supply chain. Is it not?
Therefore, this time, we will explain the basics of "business and human rights" and the responses and points to keep in mind in situations where human rights violations are discovered in the supply chain, shareholder activism, lawsuits, etc., in a total of three videos. Masu.The theme of the first session was ``Business and Human Rights,'' considered from recent trends and specific examples.
