Join the UN Global Compact Finland Roundtable Series on Business and Human Rights

This autumn, we look forward to bringing together a group of peers for meaningful dialogue, as UN Global Compact Finland launches a series of exclusive roundtable discussions focused on key business and human rights topics. Designed for companies with advanced human rights practices, the series offers a confidential setting to share experiences, challenges, and strategies.

Themes of discussion:

• Supplier management

• Contractual clauses

• Meaningful stakeholder engagement

Each two-hour session will take place in person in Helsinki from 9.00-11.00 on the following dates: 9 September, 9 October, and 4 November 2025.

To support open dialogue while ensuring compliance with legal boundaries, a competition lawyer will be present at all sessions.

The working language (Finnish/English) will be chosen based on the group’s needs.

As seats are limited, participants will be selected based on the following criteria:

• A public commitment to respecting human rights

• A publicly available description of the company’s human rights due diligence process

• A list of the company’s most salient identified human rights impacts

• Set targets for human rights and corresponding follow-up actions

Applications close on 20 August 2025.

Please note: Only one person per company may apply. Submitting an application does not guarantee participation. All applicants will be informed of the outcome after the application period.
