Human rights in focus: challenges for businesses in Latin America

Human rights in focus: challenges for businesses in Latin America

The first session in our new regional webinar series, co-hosted by CMS and the Regional Centre for Responsible Businesses and Entrepreneurship (CREER), focuses on Latin America - a region where European regulatory pressure, trade dynamics and local operational challenges intersect.

We kindly invite you to this webinar, which will explore these dynamics from legal, policy and business perspectives. In this session, experts will discuss:

• Regulatory pressure and value chain tensions - how European due diligence and trade expectations affect relationships between headquarters, buyers and Latin American suppliers.
• From standards to action: adapt, adopt and act - turning global human rights standards into effective local implementation - what can be adapted, what is non‑negotiable, and how companies should respond when risks escalate.
• Human rights as business risk - why human rights issues are not only ethical concerns, but also legal, financial and reputational risks.
• Case studies for critical minerals and the energy transition, food sector supply chain compliance.

Whether you are a legal counsel, sustainability leader, compliance professional or business executive, this session will provide practical insights into managing human rights risks in Latin America while responding
to growing regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
