Voice of the Profession Session

Human Rights on the Balance Sheet: a profit or a loss for businesses?

The Human Rights Committee invites you to attend and participate in a session exploring the intersection of human rights and business. Are human rights compatible with commercial success; is there a cost for businesses who fail to uphold those rights; and can businesses that promote human rights gain competitive advantage?  What role do you have as a lawyer advising your clients on the risks and costs of ignoring Human Rights and what can your clients gain from taking corporate social responsibility seriously?

 Venue: Faculty of Law
