Find the replay of our webinar held on Thursday, February 19 at 5:30 p.m., on the topic Human Rights & Sustainable Finance: Fundamental Rights, Key Issues for Economic Actors, presenting the results of our research written in collaboration with our academic partners IHEI – Institute of Advanced International Studies and Paris-Pantheon-Assas University.
Despite the proliferation of standards (hardlaw and softlaw), the protection of human rights by economic and financial actors remains a major challenge.
Often perceived as a constraint, these challenges are actually a pillar of resilience and innovation for businesses and investors.
With a dual analytical and operational approach, we decipher the issues of different actors with regard to human rights: investors, companies, supply chains.
On the agenda:
- Regulatory frameworks (duty of vigilance, European taxonomy, etc.) and their concrete application,
- Levers for action for asset managers and companies: due diligence, ESG strategies, innovative financial instruments, supply chain management (vertical integration, circular economy, etc.),
- Case studies illustrating the integration of human rights into business models.
Rich discussions took place, aimed at deciphering the practical issues and answering key questions:
- How to navigate the different sources on human rights in sustainable finance?
- What are the implications for investors, businesses, and stakeholders?
- How can you integrate these issues into your strategies to optimize compliance and guarantee the protection of fundamental rights?
And many more
