SUMMARY:When following the law isn’t enough —the role of international st
 andards and norms in protecting companies and communities
DESCRIPTION:HumanRightsWhen home country laws permit irresponsible ESG pr
 actices\, international norms like the United Nations Guiding Principles
  on Business and Human Rights can help guide companies’ in the right dir
 ection. Many multinational companies commit to high standards but do not
  have proper controls and people in place to achieve them. When one of t
 he world’s largest mining companies recently destroyed ancient archaeolo
 gical sites in Australia\, it arguably did not break any Australian laws
 . Nevertheless\, its Board concluded that it may have averted the disast
 er had the company properly adhered to the international standards that 
 it had internally adopted. This panel will explore the risks of strictly
  limiting compliance to black law legal frameworks and discuss practical
  methods of using ESG norms and standards to promote sustainable and res
 ponsible business practices.
