Human Rights & Human Wrongs
 
COURSE OVERVIEW
Human rights is another complex issue attracting increasing levels of scrutiny and which can affect multiple asset classes. Accordingly, a working group was established to research it thoroughly. Corporations have legal, moral and commercial responsibilities to respect human rights and manage the human rights impacts of their operations. They are not only expected to meet their human rights responsibilities but may face reputational, legal or other consequences if they fail to do so. As an investor in these businesses on behalf of our clients, it is imperative that we fully understand the risks and seek to mitigate them.
