Only 15% of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are on track to be met by 2030, according to the latest UN progress report. Business, and more specifically, business-led multi-stakeholder collaborations, play a key role in advancing the SDGs as they bring together the knowledge, financial resources, and innovation capabilities of business and non-business actors to solve systemic challenges. Drawing on BSR’s extensive expertise in incubating, designing, and facilitating collaborative initiatives, Consumer Sectors Manager Laura Marie Hansson and Associate Director of Collaboration Nicolas Ronderos share three lessons and practical examples for business leaders and collaboration practitioners as they work towards reaching their 2030 Agenda goals.

Transport & logistics (T&L) services, though critical to company operations and inherently risky for human rights, are often overlooked as part of companies’ ‘indirect’ or ‘operational’ supply chain, and subsequently overlooked for human rights due diligence. As the changing regulatory context increasingly requires that companies prioritize high-risk segments of their value chain, BSR is pleased to release an updated primer on human rights in the transport and logistics sector. BSR Associate Director, Human Rights & EETI Alison Berthet and Human Rights Manager Taylor H. identify a recent convergence of factors that have exacerbated human rights risks within the transport & logistics sector and propose five actions to address these risks along the T&L value chain. #duediligence #supplychainmanagement #sustainablebusiness #freight

But the blowback and potential vulnerabilities are real, and companies need to understand how to identify and overcome the most common barriers to corporate action on social justice. Take the first step.
