SUMMARY:Moving towards a Social Taxonomy: The challenge of International Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:With the publication of the Taxonomy Regulation in June 2020, the framework for an EU-wide classification system aimed at identifying economic activities recognised as environmentally sustainable was officially established. The initial aim for creating the framework was to prevent green washing and stimulate investments in environmentally sustainable activities. However, to be truly sustainable, the social dimension of a company’s activities must also be taken into account.\nIn October, the Platform on Sustainable Finance will begin to operate and the development of a social taxonomy will be one of its main tasks. Identifying gaps in existing practices and establishing parameters for what a socially responsible investment looks like will provide a clear framework for investors.\nIn parallel, the European Commission is currently developing a legislative proposal on director’s duties and supply chain due diligence. This will include measures the companies will have to take to address their adverse sustainability impacts, including potential harm of human rights in both their own operations and value chain.\nIn order for both of these initiatives to work well and set a pioneer global standard, they will have to go hand in hand.\nThis webinar will explore the connections between supply chain due diligence and potential integration of human rights into the upcoming social taxonomy. The webinar will discuss investigating human rights risks in supply chains, assessing the most prominent patterns of abuses and look for best policy solutions to address this issue through the upcoming EU initiatives.\n
