Virtual Side Session: From Principles to Practice: Addressing Caste and Advancing Nondiscrimination in Supply Chains

Tuesday, February 10, 5:45 a.m. ET / 11:45 a.m. CET

FLA, in collaboration with Arisa, the International Dalit Solidarity Network (IDSN), and the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), will shed light on a persistent yet often overlooked form of discrimination: caste-based discrimination. The session will explore how such discriminatory practices continue to exist within global supply chains and present practical strategies companies can use to strengthen their due diligence.

Investor Roundtable (by invitation only)

Wednesday, February 11, 4:30 p.m. CET

FLA will introduce the Fair Labor Association and Investors Roundtable (FLAIR), designed to foster meaningful, expert conversations between companies committed to ongoing improvement and investors who prioritize human and labor rights in their investment decisions. FLAIR complements existing investor initiatives by focusing on impact in the upstream supply chain, where visibility, human rights concerns, and company efforts are often limited and opaque. 

During this initial conversation, participants will discuss how investors’ engagement with companies can help human rights officers reinforce their corporate human rights strategy, how investors integrate human rights into their investment activities, and to present the initiative and gather participants’ needs and challenges.

Developing robust risk-based due diligence models that address human rights issues at both upstream and downstream tiers of the supply chain is critical for global companies. Over lunch, FLA experts will discuss resources, tools, and recent initiatives that support companies in understanding and addressing risks in across the value chain, including in retail, own operations, direct suppliers, upstream supply chains, and raw materials. Speakers will explore how collaboration and collective actions can move the needle on some of the most serious and systemic issues.
