Responsible disengagement – deciding when and knowing how

Feb 11, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Room CC9

Description

While disengagement is presented as an action of last resort, the Garment & Footwear Guidance risk modules give examples where immediate disengagement may be necessary. Recent events and the inclusion of expectations on responsible disengagement in due diligence legislation make it timely to clarify OECD recommendations on this topic. Panellists will explore this with reference to practical scenarios. French interpretation available.
