Human Rights Due Diligence Peer Learning & Networking Group

The HRDD Peer Learning & Networking Group, implemented in collaboration with focusright, provides a platform for regular exchange among business and human rights professionals in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. We meet about every three months for informal virtual or in-person discussions on questions, learnings, insights and challenges with peers. The group is open for employees of for-profit companies working on topics related to business and human rights – from beginners, intermediates and experts.

 

Objectives:

• Create opportunities for peer learning and networking

• Foster hands-on exchange of HRDD practice and experience between different companies and functions

• Connect people working on similar topics and challenges

• Facilitate informal discussions of questions, learnings, insights and challenges with peers

• Entry point for bilateral contacts and more in-depth peer exchange

​

Participation requirements:

• Active participation in informal group discussions

• Willingness to share own experiences and learn from others

• Private sector staff with a professional link to business and human rights

• Being a client of focusright, a participant of the UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein or a member of öbu

• Since the goal of the group is for participants to share their challenges and learn from peers, consulting or law firms are not accepted into the group
