ethica26 agenda

Conversations that spark real change

At ethica26, every session is designed to be sharp, practical, and commercially relevant.
Designed for action, not theory, ethica26 balances regulation, commercial risk, technology, and human impact to give executives practical insights they can take back to their organisations.

The agenda

Coffee and early networking.
Maria Villablanca & Dr. Laura Murphy set the scene: the urgent shift from voluntary action to mandatory accountability.
Senior leader (government, NGO, or global brand) on why human rights are a defining issue for supply chain resilience.
Expert legal update on the UK Modern Slavery Act, EU CSDDD, and what boards must prepare for.
Global executives share how they’re embedding human rights into corporate governance and culture.
Real-world example of the commercial fallout when supply chain abuses go unchecked: litigation, lost contracts, reputational damage.
Practical demo or fireside chat on how digital tools, traceability platforms, or AI are used to map and monitor human rights risk.
A survivor advocate or NGO leader brings the issue back to its human core.
How investors, boards, and regulators are reshaping corporate expectations on human rights.
How legal, procurement, and sustainability leaders work together to operationalise human rights due diligence.
Stories of how ethical supply chains help win contracts, build investor trust, and strengthen resilience.
Practical tools for quantifying human rights risk — dashboards, audits, and financial materiality.
Experts look at geopolitical shifts, trade realignments, and the next wave of regulation.
Chairs and selected speakers reflect on the day’s themes and share next steps for action.
Drinks and peer connections to end the day.
