ESG Seminar on Business & Human Rights | 9 October 2024

Our cross-practice ESG team warmly welcomes you to join the next breakfast discussion in our ESG seminar series on Wednesday 9 October 2024 from 9 to 10 am. The topic of the seminar is business & human rights.

Human rights risks connected to companies’ operations are increasingly gaining the spotlight due to emerging new legislation, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. How do human rights risks present themselves from the viewpoint of a Finnish multinational company, and what are the emerging global trends, concerns, and best practices in this area? How could smaller companies tap into and adjust these takeaways to their scale? During this session, our brilliant guest speakers Julianne Hughes-Jennett, a leading advisor on business and human rights and Partner at Quinn Emanuel, London, and Anna Vainikainen, Head of Human Rights at Outokumpu Group, will share their views and practical experiences on corporate accountability and due diligence in the multifaceted field of business and human rights.
