BSR is pleased to be speaking at and participating in the United Nations (UN) Forum on Business and Human Rights on November 25-27, 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The annual Forum is the global platform for stock-taking and lesson-sharing on efforts to move the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights from paper to practice. As the world’s foremost gathering in this area, it provides a unique space for dialogue between governments, business, civil society, affected groups, and international organizations on trends, challenges, and good practices in preventing and addressing business-related human rights impacts.
BSR will speak on panels regarding gender and human rights and LGBTQ issues in the workplace, in line with our ongoing efforts to support companies in applying the UN Guiding Principles across different contexts and in a holistic manner.
We look forward to engaging with members and stakeholders at the Forum. If you are interested in connecting with a BSR representative in Geneva during the UN Forum, please contact us.
