Caux Round Table Japan is hosting an event on Wednesday 5th June, together with Caux Round TableThailand, Sasin Sustainability and Entrepreneurship Center, Sasin Japan Center at Sasin School of Management of Chulalongkorn University and Meiji University Business School, focusing on business and human rights in fishing industry in Thailand.

At the conference, participants will learn the latest situation of business and human rights in Asia and Thailand, the development status of National Action Plan in Thailand (public comments period for the draft closed on 15th March 2019), a case of respecting human rights in the fishing industry, and then, share some points to implement business and human rights and its challenges at Japanese companies over the discussion.

We hope that you will find the workshop of interest and useful to build capacity to implement business and human rights. We would say that local subsidiary is often more familiar with local culture, societies and human rights issues, therefore, it possibly can have the greater control of human rights risk management.
