At its core, the ESG 'social' is about human rights and equity – an organisation's relationships with people, as well as its policies and actions.

However the focus on carbon and net zero has diverted the agenda from Human Rights, covered by legislation such as:

- The UK Equality Act 2010.
- The UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
- The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
- The recently announced Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

For example, an estimated 70% of applicable UK Companies fail to comply with the Modern Slavery Act. How can you improve and demonstrate compliance?

Furthermore, if you cannot demonstrate compliance training on issues such as equal opportunities, anti-bullying etc. legislation being introduced will automatically increase the penalties by 25%. However, it is not all about compliance. The benefits of clear policies, processes and employee training are improved recruitment and increased retention.

This webinar is being delivered by James Butcher, an established international speaker and supplier engagement & sustainable transformation expert, who has delivered other ESG sessions for the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.

The webinar will cover:
- The scope of ‘S’ in ESG and key areas of compliance
- Key statistics on the benefit of diversity in the workplace
- The risks of unconscious bias
- The commercial and legal risks of failing to train
- How training / team development aids recruitment and retention (and demonstrates core value)
- Key training topics to embed Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD)
