Strategies for Promoting Human Rights Through the Private Sector: The Shareholder, the Advocate, and Finding Common Ground
Please join us for a panel discussion which will examine the fundamental question of what, if anything, makes large multinational companies with strong incentives toward shareholder wealth maximization act in more socially responsible ways. Panelists from the private sector and civil society will share diverse perspectives on how to strengthen corporate performance on key social issues, including human rights and environmental protection, and will explore various strategies and tactics that they have found to be most impactful. A reception will follow the panel discussion.
