PARTNERSHIPS FOR ACTION on RBC and sustainable global value chains
Side-session at the “OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector”
This session will give concrete examples on how to work with Responsible Business Conduct and due diligence through partnerships and collaboration. We will give participants concrete examples and hope to inspire the formation of partnerships and collaborations, as it is our belief that this is the way forward towards a sustainable future.
In Denmark we have a long-standing tradition for collaboration across government, the private sector, academia and civil society. We hope these examples will showcase how these initiatives and projects can bring us together to form better solutions.
