In September 2023, AIM-Progress APAC hub organised an in-person event week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (4-7 September 2023). This was an opportunity for members and suppliers of AIM-Progress to connect, discuss, and share learnings on selected topics to drive responsible sourcing practices in Malaysia.
The outline of the programme was the following:
The AIM-Progress Malaysia supplier event “Sharing Accountability for Human Rights”, kindly sponsored by Unilever, Nestle and Kellanova and facilitated by Embode with the intervention of various expert speakers. This event catered different supplier maturity levels, through the inclusion of various interactive breakout sessions and relevant case studies. The sessions included topics such as Purchasing practices – aligning on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD); Regulatory frameworks and approach for fair and ethical recruitment of foreign workers; Upstream transparency in supply chain tiers; Challenges and opportunities in increasing HRDD requirements. The event linked into our current Responsible Recruitment Ganapati project as well as other ongoing project - the Supplier Consultation Engagement.
