What is this webinar about?

This is the third in our webinar series: Tackling modern slavery and labour exploitation in solar PV supply chains. Uncover unique elements of modern slavery due diligence in each session, this time focusing on due diligence and procurement.   

Solar PV is one of the fastest growing renewable technologies and has a vital role to play in helping mitigate climate change, enabling a transition to a low-carbon economy.Yet, significant evidence and allegations from credible sources, including Sheffield Hallam University’s ‘In Broad Daylight: Uyghur Forced Labour and Global Supply Chains’ have exposed how the solar PV industry is particularly vulnerable to forced labour – a form of modern slavery.

In the previous webinars you will have heard about the drivers and understand how to understand the risk and the role of leverage.  This session takes that knowledge and dives into the role of due diligence and how procurement can integrate due diligence into the business as usual.

Why should I attend?

• Understand the role of due diligence in identifying procurement strategies.
• Understand the role of procurement in engaging supply chains and driving the need for due diligence and transparency.
• View examples of the good practice in supply chain strategies and procurement requirements.
• Get access to the practical procurement tools, templates, and top tips to help with your due diligence approach
• Learn about upcoming events to support your due diligence in solar PV procurement.

Who should attend?

Target audience: This webinar will benefit organisations of all sizes, in any country, across both the public and private sector. Targeting:

• Anyone involved in the procurement of solar PV - from solar farms to small solar PV installers, or products which contain solar PV - for example, lighting rigs or welfare cabins.

• Anyone who influences any element of the procurement cycle of solar PV – from designers and specifiers, through to contract managers and supplier relationship managers.
