SIPA Partners Principal Speaks at CCI France Japon Event on Human Rights Due Diligence
Romain Caillaud, Principal at SIPA Partners, recently spoke at an event organized by the French Chamber of Commerce of Industry in Japan (CCI France Japon) titled "Human Rights Due Diligence: A Rising Trend in Corporate Risk Management," which took place on March 18 at CITRON Aoyama in Tokyo.
The event addressed the growing importance of human rights due diligence as corporations face increasing pressure from policymakers, investors, and consumers to demonstrate sustainable and responsible business practices. Participants explored international standards, best practices, and strategies for corporations to identify, prevent, and mitigate human rights risks across their operations and supply chains.
The discussion highlighted the significance of frameworks such as the United Nations' Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, alongside recent developments including Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's 2022 Guidelines on Respecting Human Rights in Responsible Supply Chains and the European Union's proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
The Paris Club event, which attracted members of the French and Japanese business communities, provided a platform for meaningful exchange on these critical issues. As companies navigate the complex landscape of human rights compliance and risk mitigation, SIPA Partners continues to offer expert guidance and strategic advisory services in this evolving field.
