The IGCC is committed to sustainable and responsible business conduct. The business growth and protection of Human Rights go together as we continue to support companies toward resilient, sustainable, and inclusive growth.
Human rights violations in the supply chains, especially those that disproportionately affect minority groups as well as women, are well documented across the world. As the world moves from voluntary compliance to mandatory human rights due diligence compliance, customers, investors, and buyers alike are putting growing pressure on companies to be ethically responsible for their adverse impact on society. The protection of workers must not be traded in exchange for short-term economic gains.
In December 2021, the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce entered into a partnership with UNDP and amfori to develop and implement a workshop and training to cater to the specific needs of companies operating in the Textiles and Constructions sectors. The partnership will bring together the world-class expertise of the three organizations to build capacity-building content aligned with the need of the industry and harmonized to internationally recognized standards.
The Human Rights Due Diligence workshop and training is a joint 6-month initiative that will support companies in India in their efforts to safeguard the value chains against human rights violations.
We encourage all our member companies to participate in the Workshop and Training. The full schedule and detail will be announced soon.
