HRDD Forum: Business and Human Rights developments in Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal
Event Details
In this session, experts will present findings from recent studies on the business and human rights landscapes of Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal. These studies consider various aspects relating to the practical implementation of the UNGPs, which will also determine how their legal frameworks may be affected by an EU level mandatory due diligence law. The three jurisdictions also offer important perspectives in that they have a large predominance of SMEs and suppliers within longer supply chains. These examples could offer valuable lessons about fragmentation, scope and application of national and EU-level regulation.
