Learn about the global trend of Due Diligence Regulations and how it could impact your business. Address your supply chain challenges in LATAM by implementing responsible sourcing through due diligence.

2023 has seen a notable increase in due diligence regulations imposed around the world to hold companies accountable for activities throughout their supply chains, including sourcing raw materials. The United States, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Germany and Switzerland have recently introduced or proposed new regulations requiring enhanced due diligence in supply chains, targeting human rights and environmental issues.

These worldwide laws present unparalleled compliance challenges for multinational companies doing business in high-risk countries, including Latin America. Companies operating and outsourcing in Latin America must prepare for the mandatory implementation of supply chain due diligence in the global north. It is crucial to anticipate and comply with these requirements to ensure a smooth transition to the new regulations.

This webinar will provide recommendations to help companies respect human rights and avoid or mitigate social and environmental risks in their sourcing decisions and practices in LATAM.
