OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector

From promise to progress: Approaches to verify, monitor, and validate companies’ actions to prevent and mitigate harm

Feb 11, 2025 | 3:15 PM - 4:45 PM

Plenary Room

Description

Companies are expected to evaluate their responses to prioritised risks and adverse impacts, yet many struggle to monitor progress and assess whether their actions effectively prevent and mitigate harm. Panellists will discuss a range of methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of whether risks and impacts are being effectively addressed, including how workers' perspectives can be integrated more meaningfully. The session will also explore how policymakers can set expectations on effective monitoring and validation in due diligence law.
