Beyond Covid-19: The case for human rights in business
The Covid-19 crisis illustrates that no actor alone can effectively address global challenges.

This puts a particular responsibility on the private sector. How companies deal with the crisis will determine their business sustainability. In this talk I will make the case that companies with a business model that integrates respect for human rights are more robustly prepared to respond and manage the crisis.
