SUMMARY:Greening supply chains - new legal challenges for a sustainable e
 xploitation of raw materials
DESCRIPTION:Regulating supply chains by imposing responsibility on busine
 sses with regard to environmental\, social and human rights issues has b
 ecome a global trend. In a first wave\, legislators have tried to use su
 pply-chain related laws to prevent illegal deforestation of rain forests
  or the sourcing of conflict minerals from regions where profits fund ar
 med conflict. Recently\, this concept has been broadened to cover all ma
 jor supply chains. Even though just a few countries (eg\, Germany) have 
 implemented such laws\, the concept has become truly infectious\, spread
 ing along supply chains all around the globe. In the next step\, climate
  legislation will apply this instrument: the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustme
 nt Mechanism (CBAM). CBAM will impose price adjustments on imports of de
 signated goods into the EU\, based on the CO2 emissions in production ou
 tside the EU. The session will focus on the concepts underlying these de
 velopments. What are the standards of diligence? How do businesses and g
 overnments cope with information gaps? What is the role of certificates?
