Moving the Needle 1: New Due Diligence Laws in Europe and the US - How will they affect Asian supply chains?

Moving the needle: Creating the future together | Online Seminar 1 | Mandatory due diligence in supply chains shows once more how interconnected supply chains are. These requirements coming from Europe and America though the intermediaries of the brands impact the current business practices in Asia in the Asian Garment and Textile Sector. This is the first of two online seminars dealing with mandatory due diligence in supply chains. The first one provides a high-level overview of some of the legal approaches already in place: this includes France (in place) Germany and California (to be enacted soon), and EU (coming soon). The purpose of surveying this new legal landscape is to alert all stakeholders to the dawn of what appears to be a new era of mandatory due diligence around social and environmental issues. The event took place on 17th November 2021.
