Human rights due diligence in supply chains seminar

Norton Rose Fulbright Australia will be hosting seminars in four cities during which we will present and debate our research findings into human rights due diligence across global supply chains.

This event is part of the second phase of our collaboration with the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) in the area of business and human rights. Our ground-breaking research and interviews with global business leaders underline the critical nature of applying human rights considerations in day-to-day business.

Join us to learn what businesses are doing to tackle their human rights impacts, including managing modern slavery risk.
