Conference: Realising responsible business conduct - the EU proposal on mandatory due diligence

27 April 2022
Vartov, Farvergade 27, 1463 København and online
This conference will explore the legislative proposal from the EU Commission and the role it can play in ensuring responsible business conduct and respect for human rights by business.

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights call on governments to design and implement a mix of regulatory and supporting measures, and the conference will also explore what other measures need to be put in place in Denmark and other EU member states.

The objective of the event is to facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue on what constitutes a proper ‘smart mix’ of both regulatory and voluntary measures in the Danish and EU context.

The discussion will kick off by focusing on the legislative proposal from the EU Commission and the reactions to it from key stakeholders. The conference will bring into play reflections, experiences and viewpoints from a diverse range of relevant stakeholders as well as enable a debate among Danish members of parliament on the role of Denmark in advancing human rights and environmental due diligence including through regulatory and voluntary measures.
