Seminar Outline

In recent years, amid increasing international call for companies to respect human rights, there has been a trend in various countries to develop national action plans on ‘business and human rights’ and to promote the widespread adoption of human rights due diligence, particularly among North American and European countries. In addition, the protection and promotion of human rights is positioned as an important aspect of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Japanese Government has also been encouraging corporate efforts to respect human rights by developing the National Action Plan (NAP) in 2020, as well as the Guidelines on Respecting Human Rights in Responsible Supply Chains in 2022. This seminar aims to further accelerate the adoption of due diligence with respect to human rights.
