A legally binding agreement on business and human rights
At the conference in Vienna on 2.9.2020, representatives of various institutions discussed the binding UN agreement on business and human rights. The current status was discussed in two panels and the developments at the Austrian and European level were analysed. The conclusion of the event was that the substantive discourse and the corresponding measures are going in the right direction, but that there are still further important steps to be taken (e.g. initiative Commissioner Reynders in 2021 initiative). © Arbeiterkammer Niederösterreich
