El pasado mes de Marzo, el Parlamento Europeo adoptó una propuesta de esquema para la “Directiva de la UE sobre la debida diligencia obligatoria en materia de derechos humanos, medio ambiente y buena gobernanza”. Se espera que esta Directiva entre en vigor hasta finales de 2022 o principios de 2023, por lo tanto las empresas deberán comenzar a prepararse para asegurar que estén listos cuanto entre en vigor los nuevos requisitos.

Descripción: Las prácticas laborales éticas tienen un impacto positivo en el bienestar de los trabajadores de una organización y también sirven para mitigar los riesgos de explotación laboral oculta y trabajo forzoso en los trabajadores y la empresa. Los riesgos para las empresas pueden incluir la infiltración por parte de grupos terceros, fraudulentos y explotadores durante la contratación y el empleo.
