Ep. 77 Human Rights in Supply Chains with Aruna Kashyap (Human Rights Watch) and Alex Silberman (U.S. Department of Labor)

Business supply chains are complex, diverse, and have a lot of stakeholders. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 450 million people work in supply chain-related jobs. In this month’s new episode, we break down the landscape of global supply chains and the interconnectedness with human rights across the globe.

We have two expert guests sharing their expertise:

–Aruna Kashyap, Associate Director on Corporate Accountability in the Economic Justice and Rights Division at Human Rights Watch and

–Alex Silberman, International Relations Specialist at The U.S. Department of Labor.

Both provide insights and examples that help us understand human rights and supply chains and how definers can take action. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Sustainability Defined is the podcast that defines sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosted by Jay Siegel and Scott Breen.  Each episode focuses on a single topic that helps push sustainability forward. We explain each topic with the help of an experienced pro, place it within our organizational tree, and help our listeners define what exactly sustainability is, episode by episode. 

We have divided our organizational tree into the following seven sectors: 

Energy 

Cities 

Natural Environment 

Transportation 

Business
