The conference “Human Rights as the New Fuel for Business” was organised by the Ombudsman’s Office of the Republic of Latvia, Riga Graduate School of Law and Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Latvia. It took place on 7 March.
The conference “Human Rights as the New Fuel for Business” focused on exploring what is human rights due diligence: understand the difference between duties of states and responsibilities of businesses with respect to human rights; learn how businesses can identify their human rights risks; explore what practical steps companies can take to prevent or mitigate their negative impacts on human rights; recognise the importance of meaningful stakeholder engagement; get practical guidance from experienced foreign experts who have helped companies integrate due diligence into their operations.
