We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar featuring Adam Whitfield, the Global Head of ESG at Achilles, a global supply chain risk management expert in financial, industrial and commercial industries with a strategic focus on ESG reporting.  Join us as we delve into the pivotal topic of new and emerging human rights legislation impacting Asian businesses.

In today’s rapidly evolving sustainability landscape, businesses are compelled to navigate not only environmental concerns but also address human rights issues, including the prevention of modern slavery and child labour. Legislation worldwide is increasingly emphasising due diligence, affecting companies from Australia with the review of the Modern Slavery Act, to India with the update of the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting requirements, Canada which introduced the Bill S-211, and Europe where the final text of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive was presented.
