GBI and Pillar Two will co-host an interactive workshop at the 2025 United Nations Responsible Business and Human Rights Forum, Asia-Pacific. Titled “Deepening due diligence: Navigating human rights risks in extended supply chains,” the session will give business practitioners a hands-on, scenario-based space to explore how companies identify, prevent, mitigate and account for human rights impacts beyond Tier 1, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Through small-group case work focused on labour rights risks at Tier 2 and below, participants will test practical strategies to build and use leverage where contractual relationships are limited, gain visibility into multi-tier supply chains, and strengthen meaningful engagement with affected stakeholders. A structured report-back and facilitated inputs from selected business representatives will surface lessons and good practices from real-world experience.
The session is designed for business representatives from a range of sectors. Following the workshop, a short summary capturing key insights, challenges and emerging good practices will be shared with participants. The workshop is delivered in partnership with Pillar Two, a specialist business and human rights advisory firm.
