Time: 11:00 – 11:30 (CET)
Presenters: Fiona Hutmacher and Salomé Wyns

When human rights risks escalate in your supply chain, what’s the right move? 

Disengagement can be seen as the simplest solution, but it’s rarely the most responsible one. This webinar explores why disengagement should be a last resort, how to plan it ethically, and what global standards like the OECD Guidelines, UNGPs, and CSDDD say about doing it right.

Through real-world scenarios, practical frameworks, and industry examples, we’ll unpack:

• What supplier disengagement really means and what it doesn’t.
• Why rushed exits can harm workers and expose your business.
• How to balance reputational risk, operational continuity, and ethical obligations.
• Key steps for building robust exit protocols and stakeholder engagement strategies.
