Replace scattered compliance efforts and duplicating work- start with integrated and prioritized solutions. As the EU Forced Labour Regulation approaches and social due diligence requirements converge across multiple frameworks such as EU Taxonomy, revised ESRS, CSRD, organisations need practical solutions, not just theoretical knowledge.
Join us on 26 November in The Hague for a half-day intensive training designed to help you implement or strenghten social due diligence. Our experts, Andreea and Jelle Mattias, will guide you through the practical application of requirements spanning the EU Forced Labour Regulation, EU Taxonomy – Minimum Social Safeguards, CSRD, and other key legislation affecting your operations.
Why this training matters now:
Multiple Regulations, Common Solutions. This training teaches you to build integrated and prioritized social due diligence systems that work across frameworks.
The EU Forced Labour Regulation (December 2027) illustrates this perfectly: while it doesn’t explicitly require due diligence, in-depth processes are your only practical path to compliance. These same processes also satisfy requirements under ESRS, CSRD, EU Taxonomy and other legislation. Build once, comply multiple times.
What you’ll gain
This half-day programme offers a structured learning experience combining theory with practice. The first half introduces core legislation and methodologies through real-world case studies, covering both successful implementations and common pitfalls in social due diligence. You’ll explore approaches to identifying social gaps across labour practices, community impact, human rights, and supply chain management, alongside practical prioritisation frameworks to help you allocate resources effectively.
The second half transforms learning into application. Working with anonymised scenarios submitted by participants in advance), this problem-solving approach ensures you leave with practical experience applying social due diligence methodologies to genuine scenarios that mirror the complexities you face in your sector.
