The complexity and multitude of social and human rights issues linked to a portfolio have
long hindered investor’s ability to engage meaningfully on the “S” in Environmental Social
Governance (ESG). This leads to a situation where social and human rights factors have not
yet received the attention and effort they deserve. Recently, this paradigm has begun to
shift but despite the guidance and increasing consumer expectations, there is still a gap
to fill in order for human rights due diligence to become a household name in the Finnish
investment sector.
To contribute meaningfully to this demanding situation, the purpose of the seminar is to
bring different stakeholders together to discuss among other: What are the benefits of an
effective human rights due diligence and how can investors act as a driving force in
requiring human rights due diligence in their portfolios? As introduction, the current
developments of Responsible Investment at the international level will be presented,
followed by the case study of Corporate Human Rights
Benchmark<https://www.corporatebenchmark.org/> as a tool for responsible investment
presented by its Programme Director: Daniel Neale. Then the focus will be given to the
Finnish context through the presentation of a study conducted about the level of
operationalization of human rights due diligence in listed companies in Finland and a
panel discussion, which will bring around the same table investors, public authority, NGOs
and researchers.
