Launched in 2024, our new working group provided participants of the UN Global Compact Network Australia with the opportunity to engage with leading actors in the business and human rights field in Australia and beyond.
Focusing on Human Rights Due Diligence, our working group was a safe space for practitioners to openly discuss technical challenges, and identify opportunities, relating to establishing, embedding and maintaining a human rights due diligence process.
We are currently developing our working group offerings for 2025. If you are interested in participating or providing input into the development of our 2025 working groups, please contact Catie Shavin, Senior Manager, Business and Human Rights.
All Working Group sessions are convened under the Chatham House Rule. Details about the Working Groups offered in 2024 can be found below.
