How can investors engage with companies to prevent and address human rights abuses? RIAA's Human Rights Working Group is an initiative to support members in their stewardship responsibilities respecting human rights in their business operations and their portfolio of companies.
The Human Rights Working Group is a way for RIAA members to come together in the interests of building stronger stewardship capabilities through more deeply understanding human rights, being able to identify and comment on due diligence processes and understand investor and company roles in remedying human rights abuses and violations.
The focus of the first Human Rights Working Group meeting for 2025 will be on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) with an investor lens. Given the current discussions globally relating to DEI, what is the evidence base for improving the overall effectiveness and performance of companies.
To explore this, we're pleased to be joined by Sarah Hill, Senior Responsible Investment Associate at HESTA, and Sudip Hazra, Director of the First Sentier MUFG Sustainable Investment Institute. Both Sarah and Sudip are leaders in this field, and we look forward to the discussion.
This presentation will then be followed by the regular meeting items including updates from the subgroups (including an update on progress with the Human Rights and Value Chains toolkit drafting) and RIAA's policy and advocacy work.
