Sector Dialogues: Voluntary Sustainability Standards – Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses for Human Rights Due Diligence

Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) have been on the rise over the past two decades. Together with complementary measures, they form part of the corporate due diligence toolbox. Building on the work of the sector dialogues, we want to discuss the benefits, potentials and limitations of such standards. This event will bring together key stakeholders from civil society, trade unions, businesses, academia and political institutions. You can expect insights from the guidance on standards, audits and certifications of the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA), as well as panel discussions and deep dive sessions on complementary measures beyond the use of standards.
