The International Commerce and Distribution Landscape – New Tensions and Restrictions Along the Global Supply Chain

20 Mar - 21 Mar 2024

Session information

ESG in the international trade and supply chain

Description

International trade and supply chain management were seen solely as a means to facilitate the exchange goods and increase wealth.  However, recent trends have placed basic human rights at the forefront of all human interactions including international trade. It is with this view in mind that the panel will deal with issues arising from human rights as they relate to trade and the international movement of goods, including forced labour, climate change, gender equality and others.
