Featuring FishWise Social Responsibility Division Director Kelley K. Bell; Humanity Research Consultancy Founder Mina Chiang; Oxfam Campaign and Advocacy Senior Advisor Caroline Brodeur; and Seafood Ethics Action Alliance Head of SEA Alliance Georgia Worrall, the panel was held on Tuesday, 12 March, with the following description:
There is rising demand for companies to implement Human Rights Due Diligence in order to know their supply chains, address human and labor rights abuses, and mitigate risk. To be effective, workers need to be actively included in the process, yet for many companies, it can be unclear how to do so. In this plenary, FishWise will host a panel of experts to explore how companies can implement impactful HRDD in a way that represents true worker engagement, and enables worker-led efforts and agency.
