Enact's Sustainability Due Diligence Practitioners Workshop Series: Internal Audit
Enact Sustainable Strategies is proud to offer a specialised training series on human rights due diligence integration for practitioners working in internal controls and corporate functions.
Drawing on our extensive experience working with companies within responsible business conduct for 20 years, we recognise the practical challenges of integrating human rights due diligence into existing systems and processes. This training is designed to cut through complexity, providing clarity, concrete guidance to help you embed human rights due diligence into your daily responsibilities, strengthening your role as a trusted professional. The course enables professionals across functions to speak a common language and develop ways of working together to address human rights risks in a structured and practical way.
For each module we build the content around requirements that are relevant to the particular function, company good practice and the knowledge required by the staff in each function. Only limited seats are available for each module to ensure dialogue and tailored learning.
Important note: Participation requires prior relevant knowledge in each of the respective specialisation areas. You must have a relevant academic degree or vocational training or at least 3 years of experience working in the relevant field. At the registration you will be able to input your background and Enact reserves the right to decline participation for individuals who do not meet the requirements for prior knowledge.
