Invitation to the c<\/strong>onference \u00ab Business & human rights \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

organised by UEL and INDR in partnership with the Ministry of the Economy and its National Contact Point for OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs<\/p>\n

\u00a022nd October 2019 at the Chamber of Commerce, Luxembourg-Kirchberg at 5 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The globalisation and intensification of interactions between businesses and states, individuals, civil society and customers, have strongly enhanced the responsibility of companies, especially international ones, to protect human rights by reducing or eliminating their negative impacts in economic, social and environmental terms, and by assuring access to remedy. The conference will present the international and national contexts of the issue.<\/p>\n

Yet, how can companies tackle this issue?<\/p>\n

A panel of economic actors will debate on the respect of human rights within companies, the implementation of a due diligence policy, the means put into place, the remedies in case of incidents, the access to grievance and remedy mechanisms, the companies\u2019 commitment to meeting their responsibilities, how to address the problems encountered etc. Best practices will be helpful to other companies or any stakeholders with an interest in this matter.<\/p>\n
