Mandatory due diligence laws in the EU and US are reshaping how global supply chains operate - particularly in Asia. This seminar explores the changing legal landscape and what it means for businesses across the garment and textile sector.
This session highlights how supply chains in Asia are increasingly influenced by mandatory due diligence requirements originating from Europe and the US. These include laws already in place in France, upcoming regulations in Germany and California, and the broader EU framework expected soon. Experts provide a high-level overview of these laws and what they mean for social and environmental compliance in the Asian garment and textile industry. Originally aired on 17 November 2021, the event offers important takeaways for all supply chain stakeholders preparing for the “new era” of due diligence.
