For the 15th “2026 Business and Human Rights Conference in Tokyo”, we will invite leading international experts in the field of business and human rights to discuss global trends and the current and emerging challenges. We aim to explore the specific actions required of Japanese companies while also providing an opportunity for these international experts to foster a deeper understanding of Japanese companies’ efforts to respect human rights. This conference will provide a forum for corporate representatives facing these challenges to learn effective methods for implementing the UNGPs and derive actionable insights.
