The Sector Dialogue Automotive Industry of the UN Global Compact Network Germany and the Responsible Supply Chain Initiative (RSCI) jointly invite you to explore how dialogue, sector-specific expertise and collective action can support effective implementation of due diligence requirements.

The conference will draw on the complementary strengths of both initiatives, as well as their shared experience in implementing collective action approaches: The Sector Dialogue contributes expertise in multi-stakeholder dialogue, peer learning and HREDD implementation, while RSCI adds sector-specific tools and audit data to support practical implementation.

Together, these perspectives, enriched by the insights of expert speakers and panellists, will provide practical guidance for companies seeking to translate regulatory expectations into effective due diligence processes. The conference will connect legal developments with practical implementation topics such as audit quality and standardisation, HREDD in high-risk regions, tier-n due diligence, forced labour regulation, children’s rights and stakeholder engagement.

How can companies navigate regulatory requirements in complex environments? Where can collective approaches create leverage? And how can MSIs and tools support practical implementation across audits, risk regions, tier-n supply chains and emerging regulatory topics?

Join us on 11 November 2026 to explore these questions together — and to shape the future of responsible supply chain governance in the automotive sector.
