Feb 10, 2025 | 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Description

Organised by: Swedwatch Join us for an engaging session on Public procurement and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), where we explore how public authorities can harness their purchasing power to drive systemic change in garment supply chains. With the recent adoption of the CSDDD, public procurement emerges as a powerful yet underutilized tool for enforcing sustainability, promoting responsible business conduct, and advancing human rights.. Experts from academia, public authorities and civil society will discuss practical strategies for aligning procurement policies with the directive, addressing challenges and opportunities with the current evolving EU rules. Together, we will examine how to build trust, enhance due diligence, and deliver justice for workers in the garment industry. Do not miss this opportunity to learn more about how we can shape the future of responsible business practices - sign up today! More information and registration
