Much of the current focus is on the “E” in “ESG” but “S” could potentially de-rail a company if the issues are not considered and dealt with especially in light of laws and regulations coming out of the European Union (EU) and the US particularly in respect to labour concerns, treatment of workers, living conditions for workers and International Labour Organization standards.

This program will look into relevant laws and regulations on “S” and what is currently in the pipeline that may affect Malaysian businesses that operate in our globalised world. Case studies include what is embedded in relevant Free Trade Agreements and the potential implications for businesses and supply chains.

Participants from different industries will be able to work on a path to future proof their companies by analysing the “S” and its challenges, exploring the risks of ignoring them and exploring possible solutions and options to meet the challenges.
