  • SHARE Investor Summit Day 1

    Feb. 15

  • 11:05  - 12:15 PM
    The rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining are fundamental human rights. In recent years, there has been renewed attention around the importance of this right as an enabler of health and safety, diversity, equity and inclusion and the mitigation of forced and child labour. Companies around the world need to contend with growing investor expectations, disclosure requirements and laws, like mandatory human rights due diligence. Nevertheless, the global panorama of respect for labour rights, precarious work and inequality is not improving.
