Admission Target audience Registration<\/strong> The government of Switzerland <\/strong>has recently implemented new due diligence requirements for Swiss companies to better protect people and the environment both at home and abroad. The legislation includes new reporting requirements on \u201cnon-financial matters\u201d, in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and human rights (Ordinance on Climate Disclosure), which are based on the existing European Union Directive 2014\/95\/EU (Non-Financial Reporting Directive); and new due diligence and reporting obligations with respect to conflict minerals and to prevent child labour throughout the supply chain (DDTrO). <\/p>\n\n\n\n In turn, the European Union has stalled the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), which would require EU and non-EU companies to carefully manage social and environmental impacts throughout their entire supply chain, including direct and indirect suppliers, their own operations, and their products and services. At the moment of publishing this event, it is unknown what will happen next, and if there will still be a vote on the proposal. Following the existing regulations in Germany (Supply Chain Due Diligence Act or \u201cLieferkettengesetz\u201d) and France (Duty of Diligence Act or \u201cLoi sur le devoir de vigilance\u201d), more EU member States may enact national legislation to ensure that businesses address the negative consequences of their actions, including those in their value chains. The legislative landscape regarding this topic is growing more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the Swiss commodity trading umbrella association SUISSEN\u00c9GOCE<\/strong><\/a> and the Total Quality Assurance provider Intertek<\/strong><\/a>, in cooperation with the human rights consultancy firm focusright<\/a><\/strong>, have developed a multi-step program to assist SUISSEN\u00c9GOCE (and thus LCTA) members<\/strong> in understanding how their policies and processes meet the legal requirements in this area. The program has five steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n During a 90-minute workshop, Intertek and focusright experts will provide a snapshot of the legislative landscape and walk participants through the program, with the ultimate goal of allowing them to take the necessary steps toward compliance at their own pace and implement bespoke due diligence strategies for their organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Discussion oriented, this program is followed by a networking aperitif<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speakers<\/strong>: LCTA-Lugano Commodity Trading Association, Intertek, focusright April 17, 2024, from 15:30 to 17:00followed by a networking aperitif Venue: Chamber of commerce and industry of Canton Ticino, Corso Elvezia 16, 6900 Lugano \u2013 Gildo Papa Room (6th floor) Notice: Registration is required by Friday, April 12, 2024 at 12:00pm.
