Human Rights in The Supply Chain: From Obligation to Operational Discipline

Wednesday 15 July 2026

6:30 PM GMT

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London SW1A 2HN

Human rights risk is no longer a reputational issue, it is an operational, legal, and strategic one. As enforcement intensifies and regulatory regimes expand across jurisdictions, organisations are being held accountable not only for their direct suppliers, but for conditions deep within their supply chains.

This forum examines how human rights due diligence must evolve from static policies and periodic audits to continuous, evidence-driven oversight. We will explore the structural realities of forced labor risk, the limitations of traditional compliance models, and the growing expectation that companies can demonstrate defensible action, not just intent.

For procurement, compliance, and executive leaders, the conversation will focus on what it takes to move from reactive remediation to proactive risk governance, embedding human rights intelligence into everyday supply chain decisions.
