The Virtual AIAG Corporate Responsibility Summit is back! This year’s two-day event on April 14–15, 2021, offers attendees the latest insights and industry information on today's ESG concerns. Join us for the first day (Wednesday, April 14) to hear insights on a wide range of environmental issues. The second day (Thursday, April 15) sessions focus on human rights, sustainability, conflict minerals, and more.

As the world marks Human Rights Day, the widening societal inequalities brought into focus by the pandemic are a stark reminder of the action needed to advance human rights. The role that companies play, in terms of understanding how their behavior contributes towards respect for human rights, is therefore crucial.

These nine translations have allowed 18,402 individuals from 89 different countries and 3,215 different companies to complete 22,561 self-assessments since 2012.
