Description
In a changing geopolitical context, and in view of fundamental shifts in the economy and corporate conduct linked to responses to global challenges, the importance of responsible business conduct (RBC) as a baseline for open, inclusive and sustainable rules-based trade is expected to continue to grow. Wider implementation of RBC standards in the market will be essential to align private sector action with policy goals, among others, on climate change, digital transformation, the SDGs, COVID-19 recovery, quality infrastructure investment and response to the consequences of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The session would discuss effective and scaled implementation of practical RBC instruments in global supply chains. It would also set the scene for thematic discussions that follow.
