SUMMARY:SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS  When the going gets tough - ESG principles 
 and supply chain: threats and chances in implementing ESG principles alo
 ng the chain
DESCRIPTION:SustainabilityFocusHumanRightsIn the last couple of years\, m
 ore and more jurisdictions impose statutory rules on companies to procur
 e compliance with certain ESG principles and human rights along their su
 pply chains. For instance\, the UK has enacted the Modern Slavery Act in
  2015\, and Germany will see the Supply Chain Protection Act come into e
 ffect in 2023. The session will review what risks and chances companies 
 are facing when trying to implement ESG principles and/or to procure com
 pliance with basic human rights along their chain\, both on a compulsory
  and voluntary basis. The session will review risks of liability\, effec
 tiveness in promoting social justice\, human rights\, environmental resp
 onsibility and gender equality as well as discuss potential litigation s
 cenarios arising from the announcement and reporting of ESG principles. 
 At last\, the session will try to reach a conclusion to what extent comp
 anies can be actors of “private enforcement” of human rights and ESG pri
 nciples.\n\nSUSTAINABILITY FOCUS sessions marked as such are part of the
  IBA Annual Conference 2022 sustainability focus on Tuesday and Thursday
 \, grouping sessions discussing different aspects of ESG and sustainabil
 ity across the different legal fields.\n
