FishWise Webinar: Human Rights Due Diligence in Seafood Supply Chains
There is rising demand for companies to implement Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) in response to reported human rights abuses and labor exploitation in seafood. HRDD is seen as best practice for companies to identify, address, and prevent activities within their supply chains that compromise or disregard people’s rights.
In an effort to highlight some of the most effective strategies for HRDD implementation, FishWise evaluated various models from across commodities. We interviewed over 30 stakeholders including: human and labor rights experts, seafood industry representatives, advisors to worker organizations and trade unions, seafood workers, and community level professionals from sourcing communities. What surfaced from our research were 3 fundamentals within HRDD that companies often miss, but that add depth and rigor to their process:
- Keep Workers at the Core
- Take Action Within the Local Context
- Build a Strong Foundation
No matter where you are in your HRDD journey, we invite you to join us for a conversation about each of the 3 Fundamentals, with a panel of topical experts and industry. Come with your questions, and participate in a breakout with your peers.
