'No more Mr Nice Guy! : Coercing sustainability through supply chain due diligence

• Florence School of Transnational Governance

The STG Talks, held weekly at Palazzo Buontalenti, serve as a space for discussion for the STG community and beyond. Led by the STG Fellows, the talks are a place for informal learning and exchange on global issues affecting different areas of policymaking.

How can we best address what we may call "tainted" global production and trade? This panel will discuss what is at stake with the new efforts to transform voluntary approaches. The latter encourage companies to ensure that human rights and the environment are respected around the world and are being transformed into binding regulations linked to 'due diligence', where companies are required to carefully consider production conditions throughout their supply chain.

Moderator:

• Kalypso Nicolaidis, Chair in International Affairs at the School of Transnational Governance

Panelists: 

• Arancha Gonzalez Laya, Adjunct Professor at the School of Transnational Governance 
• Kenneth Amaeshi, Chair in Sustainable Finance at the School of Transnational Governance
• Nina Gardner, Adjunct Professor at the Johns Hopkins SAIS
• Teniola Tayo, Young African Leader Fellow 

The event will be held in a hybrid setting (in person in Buontalenti's Elinor Ostrom Room and on Zoom). Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
