Responsible Sourcing and Ethical Trade Forum 2024 | Innovation Forum | 19 March 2024 | Prospero House, 241 Borough High St, London SE1 1GA, UK

This two-day business forum will assess how companies can develop and implement robust human rights due diligence and responsible sourcing policies. We’ll look in-depth into the practical implications of evolving legislation and what this means for business operations and the future of (ethical) trade. Through off-the-record debate, we plan to challenge the current status quo, debate the limitations in current approaches and assess the opportunities for genuine transformation. Whilst maintaining a focus on real-world solutions, we’ll ask what’s working, what’s not and what’s next for business and human rights.
