In the lead-up to and certainly since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/UNC, employer DEI programs continue to face legal and public relations challenges. Organizations are suing, employees are suing, shareholders are suing, but employers continue to push their DEI measures forward. In this practical session, we will cover employer initiatives and risk mitigation strategies associated with everything from aspirational goals and the importance of data analytics, to diverse slate programs, to employee resource groups to internship programs. How are they being challenged, by whom, and what to do about it.

This insightful Webcast, tailored for in-house counsel in India, focuses on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). This session will delve into the essentials of FCPA compliance, including key provisions, enforcement trends, and best practices for mitigating risks, with expert speaker Adria Perez, Partner, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP guiding the conversation.

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.

This session will explore how GCs are striking a balance between how their departments operate efficiently, provide effective advice, enable business growth, and protect the business from risk, particularly in the midst of macroeconomic factors which continue to shift the ground under general counsel, such as a changing regulatory environment, the uncertainty of generative AI (and pressure from CEOs and Boards of Directors to use it), and continued increases in costs for outside counsel.
As a group, we will explore key questions as well as metrics to consider.
