Apr 24 2024

CC 5.3

Seafood companies are coming under increasing pressure to adopt a human rights due diligence approach into their operations, with changing regulation, increased legal risks for supply chain abuses and growing consumer awareness. While some companies are taking concrete actions and focusing on HRDD, many companies are still holding back – in part as some companies say that they are missing guidance and examples of what this could look like in practice, in particular what it could specifically for seafood. This panel seek to address this challenge providing practical examples and lessons learned from companies who are implementing HRDD activities. Bringing together civil society organizations who are engaging companies on HRDD and large agribusinesses and retailers, the panel will do a deep-dive into the reality of implementing HRDD, and exploring ways to improve current practices.
