Webinars and workshops 2025
During 2025, we will hold seven 1.5-hour webinars and online workshops for public authorities to help them address modern slavery and human rights risks in their global supply chains.
There will be five sessions on high-risk, high-spend sectors, and two skills-building workshops on evidence, evaluating the quality of information from suppliers to meet their contract criteria and how they can improve it. Attendees will receive practical guidance notes covering the issues, questions to ask suppliers and key contacts with expertise in particular sectors and countries.
All webinars will take place online from 11:00-12:30 CET.
Participating public authorities should send the list of attendees with their names and e-mail addresses to Cindy Berman and Haëndila Varela at least one week before each webinar.
Next webinar: Transport and logistics, 26 March
The next webinar in the Knowledge Building Series will explore working conditions in the transport and logistics sectors. Critical to the way our global economy operates, they employ 18.5 million people worldwide.
Workers suffer unsafe working conditions, discrimination and harassment, poor pay and extremely long hours doing physically arduous work on precarious contracts. Unscrupulous logistics and transport suppliers take advantage of the hidden nature of these services by exploiting workers to reduce their costs.
Transport and logistics workers, inspectors and employers will share their expertise on labour and human rights issues at 11:00-12:30 CET on March 26. They will highlight examples of good practices to tackle worker rights violations, and provide practical advice you can use in your procurement processes.
