Human Rights and Investigations - How They Impact Company Operations in the Middle East and Africa

• Wednesday, September 25, 2024 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM GST

The Middle East & Africa Compliance Association (MEACA) and Covington invite you to a webinar on 25 September. The discussion will be led by senior members of Covington's White Collar, Anti-Corruption and Business & Human Rights Practices, all of whom have extensive experience working with companies across the region: Ben Haley, Sarah Bishop and Peter Koski.

The panel will focus on the expanding enforcement regime in the sphere of human rights, its impact on global supply chains, and the expectations of U.S. and European regulators, who have been taking an extraterritorial approach to investigations and enforcement actions. They will share insights from their extensive experience and address topics such as:

• Overview of the U.S. and European legal landscape
• Regional BHR risks
• Unique considerations when conducting human rights investigations
• Compliance best practices
• Based on enforcement trends, where companies should be focusing their human rights enhancement efforts
