Learnings from OECD alignment assessments in the garment & footwear sector

Feb 12, 2025 | 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Room CC9

Description

The different roles that sustainability initiatives can play in supporting and assessing companies on their due diligence are likely to come further into focus as companies look to demonstrate their performance and build on supply chain tools in the context of mandatory due diligence. The session will present the OECD’s recent learnings across two full and five standards-only alignment assessments of sustainability initiatives operating in the sector. Participants will then be invited to reflect on the learnings in groups through a workshop format. Please note that only the panel discussion (40 mins) will be livestreamed.
