Webinar: The Role of the Devoir de Vigilance Law in Reforming Corporate Risk Engagement

10.06.2020 - 10:39AM

In this interactive webinar, Dr. Chris Bayer and Juan Ibanez from Development International will present the highlights of their new study on the French law Devoir de Vigilance (DdV). Enacted in March 2017, DdV establishes a duty to implement a vigilance plan for companies registered in French territory with more than 5,000 employees in France or more than 10,000 employees worldwide. In addition, Dr. Claire Bright, Assistant Professor in Private Law at the Nova School of Law in Lisbon, will discuss the relevance of the DdV for the current legislative developments at the EU level concerning mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence, as well as the significance of the study in this respect.

Language: English

Duration: 1 hour (including Q&A period)

Date: Thursday, October 15, 2020, 5 AM-6 AM EDT / 11 AM-12 PM CEST

Background information The uniquely progressive French law Devoir de Vigilance bestows upon companies a duty to implement a vigilance plan and take measures to identify and prevent adverse impacts. A vigilance plan must cover risks of severe violations to human rights and fundamental freedoms, serious bodily injury, health risks, and environmental damage resulting from the direct or indirect activity of the firm.

The findings of the new independent study, carried out by Development InternationaI and funded by iPoint, are based on the raw data of the subject companies’ vigilance plans. They were assessed by applying 42 KPIs and 14 qualitative indicators, comprising three rubrics: (1) compliance with the law, (2) conformance to the UN Guiding Principles (UNGP), and (3) disclosure transparency. The firm that received the highest legal compliance score was Kering (100%). Korian (64%) was the top scorer vis-a-vis the UNGP. Michelin obtained the highest transparency score (100%).

Mohawk Group Invites Design Community to “Revitalize Knowledge and Renew Well-Being” With Resourceful CEU Series

Accredited digital educational offerings continue Wednesday

For commercial architects and designers currently looking for learning and other professional development opportunities in the midst of a non-traditional workplace and social landscape, Mohawk Group is offering free digital CEU programming. The Resourceful CEU Series was created to provide outlets for the design community to revitalize their knowledge and renew their well-being while many are working remotely.

All continuing education courses take place through May 6 on Wednesdays from 12–1 p.m. EST. Each CEU is free to attend virtually, but all attendees must register to view and receive credit.

“We felt it important to provide the design community with impactful accredited opportunities to take deeper dives into a variety of subject matter,” said Jackie Dettmar, Mohawk Group’s vice president of design and product development. “We are thankful we are able to share the talents of our amazing team to bring unique digital learning experiences to those now juggling a new reality that includes spending more time working remotely.”

On April 8, Mohawk Group A&D design director Royce Epstein will present “Color + Design Vision 2020: Return to Humanity.” The course will highlight a focus on human-centered design through the lens of the company’s 2020 forecast. After several years of global turmoil, both humankind and nature are in dire need of renewal. The CEU asks and answers the questions: “How can we become more human in the presence of digital life and artificial intelligence; what makes us human and how do we get back there; how can we connect better with nature to remind us who we are?” Attendees will experience how design can inspire and motivate positive change in a shifting world dynamic as expressed through the hand, heart, and mind.
