Fair Labor Association to join Innovation Forum’s Responsible Sourcing and Ethical Trade Forum 2026

Issues Climate Change Human Rights Due Diligence Supply Chain Transparency

FLA is delighted to join Innovation Forum’s Responsible Sourcing and Ethical Trade Forum in London on March 18-19, 2026. The Forum will convene 180+ senior leaders from global brands, suppliers, investors, and civil society to have candid discussions on how human rights due diligence, transparent supply chains, and fair labour practices drive competitive advantage, investor confidence, and operational stability in an era of volatility.

Through interactive sessions, case studies, and cross-industry dialogue, the conference will uncover practical solutions, highlight opportunities for collaboration, and chart a path toward systemic change in the way goods are sourced, produced, and traded.

At the event, FLA’s Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Richa Mittal will moderate the panel “Beyond traceability: Turning supply chain transparency into meaningful oversight,” guiding a discussion on how leading companies are pairing data with dialogue to expose deeper risks in their supply chains and drive real accountability.
