A panel co nversation. DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: lisa.heldt@iiiee.lu.se\n\nThis panel conversation brin gs together researchers from the LU Human Rights Profile Area working grou p “Due diligence for a just and sustainable transition?”\, \;worki ng at the intersection of human rights\, environmental sustainability\, an d supply chain governance to explore the promises and limitations of due d iligence in global supply chains. Drawing on perspectives from law\, susta inability studies\, and supply chain management\, the panel will discuss h ow due diligence is conceptualised in EU policy\, operationalised by compa nies\, and experienced along supply chains that span diverse social\, envi ronmental\, and geopolitical contexts.The discussion will focus on key ten sions and trade-offs that are becoming increasingly visible as due diligen ce moves from policy ambition to implementation. These include questions a round regulatory complexity versus “simplification”\, competitiveness and strategic autonomy versus social and environmental safeguards\, and tr ansparency and accountability versus administrative burden. The panel will also reflect on unintended consequences of due diligence regulation\, suc h as the risk of supplier exclusion\, responsibility shifting\, or the mar ginalization of vulnerable actors in upstream supply chains.Rather than tr eating due diligence as a purely technical or compliance-driven exercise\, the event invites participants to critically reflect on its broader socie tal implications. What does a just transition mean in the context of globa l supply chains? Whose risks are made visible – and whose remain unseen? And how can human rights considerations remain meaningfully embedded in s ustainability regulation at a time of shifting political priorities in a r apidly evolving global landscape?PanelistsKarin Buhmann\, Full Professor o f Business &\; Human Rights\, Department of Management\, \;Society and Communication \;(MSC)\, Copenhagen Business School \;Amanda Kr on\, Doctoral Candidate in Public International Law\, Faculty of Law\, LUL isa Heldt\, Assistant Professor in Sustainable Operations and Supply Chain s\, Center for Supply Chain Digitalization\, University of Southern Denmar k and Visiting Researcher\, International Institute for Industrial Environ mental Economics (IIIEE)\, Lund UniversityOrganisersThe event is organised by the LU Human Rights Profile Area working group “Due diligence for a just and sustainable transition?”\, which brings together researchers ac ross faculties to explore how human rights and environmental due diligence can be designed\, implemented\, and governed in ways that support both su stainability and justice.The event is part of Sustainability Week 2026\, w hich runs between 13-18 April. \;Sustainability Week is an annual even t in Lund organised as a joint venture by Lund University and Lund municip ality.
