Embedding Human Rights in Procurement Policies
Join SPP Singapore for an inspiring 1.5-hour talk with Professor Surya Deva, one of the world’s leading experts on Business and Human Rights (BHR), hosted by the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP) Singapore.
Surya Deva is Professor at Macquarie Law School and UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development, with extensive experience advising UN agencies, governments, and corporations on embedding human rights into business practices. Formerly a member of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights (2016–2022), Professor Deva’s research has shaped global policy in sustainable development, climate action, and corporate accountability.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of the world’s foremost voices advancing human rights in business.
Together, we’ll explore how organizations can embed human rights into procurement policies, address key challenges, and foster inclusiveness to transform procurement practices into a true force for ethical, transparent, and sustainable change.
✨ Key themes:
- Procurement as a driver for human rights and sustainability
- Aligning policies with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
- Building responsible, resilient supply chains
We warmly welcome participants and companies to share their reflections, experiences, or examples of how they are integrating human rights into procurement. Let’s learn from one another and strengthen the dialogue for a more just and inclusive transition.
Let’s learn, connect, and lead the shift toward responsible procurement together.
