The AIM-Progress APAC hub organised an in-person event week in Kuala Lumpur as an opportunity for members and suppliers of AIM-Progress to connect, discuss, and share learnings on selected topics to drive responsible sourcing practices in Malaysia.
The AIM-Progress Malaysia supplier event “Sharing Accountability for Human Rights” was kindly sponsored by Unilever and facilitated by Embode with the intervention of various expert speakers.
This event catered to different supplier maturity levels, through the inclusion of various interactive breakout sessions and relevant case studies. This year’s sessions included topics such as Purchasing practices – aligning on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD); Regulatory frameworks and approach for fair and ethical recruitment of foreign workers; Upstream transparency in supply chain tiers; Challenges and opportunities in increasing HRDD requirements.
The event also linked into our current Ganapati project as well as the Supplier Consultation Engagement.
