Tracking human rights risks in Chinese supply chains

At this working group meeting we will discuss methods for tracking human rights risks in China. China is of particular interest for ETI Sweden members and over the past years, state-imposed forced labour in China has been a key topic within ETI Sweden.

Details

The research consultancy Globalworks will discuss challenges in identifying and monitoring human rights risks among suppliers in China, as well as findings from their latest reports and the research method social@risk™ – an innovative way to track practices and mechanisms that expose workers and communities to adverse human rights impact.

• 10:40-10:50 Q&A
