Vulnerable workers in global supply chains (København)

International meeting on the challenges faced by marginalised groups, working under some of the most difficult conditions in global supply chains.

Among others we will look at how addressing discrimination and injustice directly with suppliers can mitigate the risks of slavery and child labour in supply chains and ensure inclusive workplaces.

Speakers at the event include Peter McAllister, Director of the Ethical Trading Initiative (UK), presenting ETI’s newly released base code guidance on “Caste in Global Supply Chains” and Peter Lund-Thomsen, Professor at Copenhagen Business School, who will speak about vulnerable workers in the informal sector in leather and cotton production.

Other speakers will include representatives from NGOs, trade union specialists and corporate sector actors.
 

The meeting is organised by DIEH together with the International Dalit Solidarity Network and Ethical Trading Initiative UK.

The conference will be held in Copenhagen, the venue is yet to be announced.
