About

Understanding and Implementing the UN Guiding Principles in Japan Caux Round Table Japan (CRT Japan) jointly co-hosts the 2014 Global Conference on CSR and Risk Management with UN Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises in Tokyo in September 4th-5th, 2014. This is the second conference with extended period, after the first one-day conference conducted last year. Developing borderless economy with accelerated overseas business expansion is broadening a potential scope of CSR risk management. Especially in ‘Business and Human Rights’ related areas, business communities are strongly requested to take actions by many international organizations including the United Nations and global NGOs. In response to the requests, last September CRT Japan hosted the Conference on CSR and Risk Management. Contents of discussion at the conference and Stakeholder Engagement Program, launched in 2012, were presented at the 2nd United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights hosted by Office of the United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR) in Geneva in December 2013 as actions taking place in Japan. Many global organizations acclaimed the efforts of Japanese business, and are willing to participate in this second conference to share own practices and support the Japanese business in the area of ‘Business and Human Rights’. Day 1: Exclusive Workshop Session in the morning focuses upon ‘how to link actual and potential human rights impacts to conventional measure of business risk’, facilitated by Roger D. Branigin,

Executive Director of Global Corporate Community of Practice (GCOP), originated from a multinational businesses platform for 14 global companies. In the afternoon Open Speech Session, leaders from key global organizations, who are forming global agendas and setting a direction of ‘Business and Human Rights’, share their experiences of collaboration with global businesses. Following Panel Discussion specifically focuses on their activities and considerations for operating in Asia. Day 2: Introducing CRT Japan associated organizations Maplecrfoft and Sedex, experts on ‘Business and Human Rights’ risk assessment and of implementing risk management across supply chain. Open Workshop Session introduces a process of how to ‘assess actual and potential human rights impacts’, ‘integrate and act upon the findings’, ‘track responses’ and ‘communicate how impacts are addressed’, applying it to each of the following themes: Child Labor; Forced Labour; The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus; and Mega- Sporting Events and Human Rights. Includes panelists from business and NPO/NGOs. NOTE: Venues of Day 1 and Day 2 are different. The conference provides great opportunity to learn and get insights of current global agenda and specific issues of Human Rights Due Diligence and future direction. We sincerely look forward to meeting you in the conference. Inquiries Miho Okada, Director Mail: [email protected] Tel: +81 (0)3 5728 6365 4

Summary: Private-sector uptake of the operational due diligence outlined in Principles 16-24 of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights continues to be strong.

Objectives: To explore methods that companies may consider in linking metrics of business risk and opportunity to their human rights performance. Special attention will be paid to key lessons learned in the 2013 workshop regarding Japanese business culture and practice. * The workshop will be conducted under Chatham House rule Roger D.

OPEN WORKSHOP SESSION (Implementation) Business and human rights involves many different themes and aspects. With which theme should company start their initiatives? Although priority could be different between companies, labour issues could be related to all the companies despite their difference in business activities and geographical area of operation. As is posing a great challenge to the dignity of human, all the stakeholders should work together for fighting against violation of labour rights, especially against the issues of child labour and forced labour. In addition to these common issues, some new perspectives should also be considered. In today’s society, it should not be ignored that the issues of water, food (agriculture), and energy, which have often been dealt with as an environmental issue, also involve human rights with a rapid increase in world population. Moreover, there is a growing demand for consideration for human rights and sustainability at a mega-sporting event, such as the Olympics Games and FIFA World Cup. As Tokyo will host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, companies will face increasing pressure to give consideration to human rights and sustainability in their procurement activities.

In this workshop, these 4 themes, Children’s Rights, Forced Labour, Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights, and Water, Energy, and Food Security Nexus will be discussed with the presentations of experts, NGO/NPOs, and companies.
