This Webcast from Khaitan & Co, India's largest law firm, will provide a comprehensive primer in just 60 minutes on everything in-house counsel need to know about the current legal and regulatory landscape surrounding GCCs.

In an era where consumers are increasingly conscious of the origins of the products they purchase, ensuring that products are ethically sourced has become a significant concern for businesses and individuals alike. Ethical sourcing encompasses a range of practices aimed at ensuring that products are produced in a manner that is fair, sustainable, and respectful of human rights. This topic delves into the various dimensions of ethical sourcing, including the prevention of forced labor, minimizing environmental impact, ensuring fair wages, and maintaining humane working conditions.

Key Aspects of Ethical Sourcing: 1. Preventing Forced Labor and Exploitation: Explore global standards and regulations, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions and local labor laws. 2. Environmental Sustainability: Evaluate the environmental impact of production processes, including resource extraction, waste management, and emissions. 3. Fair Wages and Compensation: Ensure that overtime work is compensated appropriately and that workers are not overburdened. 4. Working Conditions and Worker Treatment: Implement standards for occupational health and safety to prevent workplace accidents and illnesses.

This Webcast will highlight examples of companies that have successfully implemented ethical sourcing practices and the positive impacts on their business and communities. In addition, common pitfalls and lessons learned from companies that have faced challenges in ethical sourcing will be shared.

Ethical sourcing is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic advantage for businesses committed to sustainability and social responsibility. By adopting comprehensive ethical sourcing practices, companies can contribute to a fairer global economy, enhance their brand reputation, and build stronger, more resilient supply chains.
