INTERNATIONAL 3-PART ACADEMY PROGRAMME
Responsible Procurement Webinar Series
Get your organization prepared for responsible sourcing and human rights due diligence in procurement, with expert support from the Responsible Contracting Project.
Can companies protect human rights in their supply chains if their own purchasing practices pull in the opposite direction?
Price pressure, short lead times and changing orders can all affect suppliers’ ability to provide safe and decent working conditions. That is why responsible procurement is an important part of human rights and environmental due diligence.
This autumn, we invite you to join a three-part webinar series on Responsible Procurement, organized in collaboration with the Responsible Contracting Project (RCP).
The series is especially relevant for professionals working in procurement, sustainable procurement, and Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD). Participation is free and exclusively available to UN Global Compact Network participants. As the webinars are standalone sessions, you are welcome to attend any webinar that matches your interests and priorities.
