Despite increased attention and awareness over the recent years regarding the importance of human rights and environmental compliance in business, exploitation and labour rights breaches continue to occur in global supply chains. The complexity of these supply chains, from recruiting workers to protecting their rights, ensuring traceability and transparency of reporting, and adopting sustainable practices throughout, make them a high-risk area for labour rights abuses, even though businesses have been urged repeatedly to make a change.
As such, an upcoming topic in the discourse for more responsible supply chains has been the application, invention, or even the widespread adoption of technology to ensure that human rights and environmental concerns are being adhered to in these complex systems. In the wake of the global pandemic, the need for increased adoption of such solutions is now vital, more than ever, as companies must adapt from traditional methods which have been lacking in their ability to identify and protect against unsustainable practices.
The Malaysian business sector in particular can greatly benefit from learning about how to better use these technologies to keep up with human rights and environmental regulations, and avoid falling behind in the global race to innovate their supply chains. Although there have been improvements in conditions, changes and new policies regulated for certain industries or countries, there is still ample room for the use of technology to ensure compliance with respect to human rights. This is not an opportunity that should be missed by businesses looking to transform their supply chains for a sustainable future.
This webinar will focus on sharing knowledge on using technology to improve supply chain compliance and build responsible supply chains in the context of human rights and the environment. Join us for an informative panel discussion as our expert panelists share knowledge on the advantages of tools and technologies over traditional methods through specific case studies and experience to create a greater awareness of how technology can be implemented in the Malaysian business context for concrete and sustainable impact.
