The final peer learning session, moderated by Bob Dannhauser, CFA, FRM from Shift focused on the importance of remedy and grievance mechanisms within the HRDD process and highlighted the impact of their efforts on advancing business and #humanrights. 🌎 Day 2: High-Level Political Forum Event As part of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum (#HLPF), we hosted an insightful panel and roundtable discussion focused on the pivotal intersection of business, human rights, and poverty eradication, with a special emphasis on Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty).

Participants then presented an overview of their action plans for their respective companies, highlighting key takeaways from the program — this served as a testament to the dedication and progress made by each company throughout the program. To wrap up the in-person session, we had an inspiring panel featuring Carla Joan González Vizcarrondo, Business Development & Marketing Director at Álvarez‐Díaz & Villalón, and Paloma Muñoz Quick, Director of Human Rights Standards at BSR, to discuss tangible next steps for companies within the Business & Human Rights Accelerator program to advance their HRDD processes effectively. 🤝🏻 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all speakers and participants for making this event a resounding success.
