Topic
With over 4,000 participants from around the world, the United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights is the premier international gathering dedicated to this subject and the professionals working in the field. Each year, it brings together businesses, governments, civil society, the United Nations, and other stakeholders to help shape the global agenda and guide future priorities regarding business and human rights.
Insights
From November 23 to 25, the Palais des Nations in Geneva will host the 15th edition of the Forum, themed “UNGPs at 15: Building on Gains, Confronting Gaps, Reimagining the Future.” The objective is to take stock of the progress made and the challenges that remain in the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) by states and businesses.
The UN Global Compact will also be present at the Forum to give a voice to its participating companies and strengthen their contribution to the discussion.
Through side events, roundtables, in-depth sessions, and networking opportunities, the UN Global Compact will provide a platform for participating companies to share experiences and best practices, while fostering dialogue among the private sector, institutions, partners, and civil society—ultimately promoting collective solutions to human rights challenges.
Audience
The program includes both events open to all participating companies and sessions with limited participation, available by invitation or application.
