HUMAN: access to remedy

Human rights event on December 13th 

Every year, VBDO organizes its human rights event HUMAN, in collaboration with EY, CNV Internationaal and ABN AMRO. HUMAN is intended as a platform for exchanging up-to-date knowledge and insights about human rights. This year HUMAN’s focus is on 'Access to Remedy'.

Access to Remedy essentially recognizes the fact that companies can have a negative impact on people planet and society as a whole, and as such an essential element in companies effort to respect human rights. The problem is, however, that there still is a lack in knowledge and experience regarding how to set up a decent system.
