Design for Freedom: Constructing a Humane Future with Ethical Materials
Tuesday, April 2nd, 20243:00 PM - 4:30 PM The Dodd Center for Human Rights
About This Event
Are our buildings ethically sourced, as well as sustainably designed? This is the question at the core of Design for Freedom, the movement led by Grace Farms to eliminate forced and child labor from the building materials supply chain. As we confront the climate crisis, we must approach sustainable solutions that address the human suffering endured in the making of building materials, as well as the damage being done to the environment in the process.
This event explores ways in which companies and communities can work together to drive human rights-respecting market transformation and address the challenges and opportunities of ethical decarbonization in the construction sector.
Reception
Following the event, please join us for a catered reception in the Dodd Lounge.

About This Talk
In recent years, we have witnessed a major shift in how corporate stakeholders—investors, shareholders, employees, consumers, communities—understand the content of responsible business conduct. The legal landscape is rapidly evolving with the adoption of new hard law in the EU and its Member States, which requires large businesses to conduct ongoing, risk-based, human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) throughout their supply chains, as well as trade sanctions regimes that push companies to carry out more and better due diligence in their supply chains to ensure that the goods they want to bring into and sell in the US and EU are not made with forced labor.
Contracts can play a critical role in supporting more robust HREDD processes, making the commitment to HREDD between buyers and suppliers across the supply chain legally binding, and facilitating the flow of information between the contracting parties and across the supply chain. That information can be used for multiple purposes, including to better equip portfolio companies to conduct comprehensive HREDD and prevent adverse human rights and environmental (HRE) impacts, address inquiries from regulators, report on non-financial performance, and to provide more effective HRE remediation, when/as needed.
With HRE performance becoming an increasingly important component of companies’ financial performance, investors are understandably interested in learning more about how to engage with portfolio companies to achieve better HRE outcomes. We will discuss the role of HREDD-aligned contracts in helping investors evaluate potential risks to a target company’s or existing portfolio company’s HRE performance when making investment and divestment or sale decisions.
Chavi Keeney Nana is the director of the Equitable Global Supply Chain program at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. She is also a professor from practice at the University of Michigan Law School and a US Legal Advisor for the Responsible Contracting Project. She teaches anticorruption law and business and human rights, and supervises students in the Human Trafficking Clinic and Business and Human Rights Lab.
Sarah Dadush’s research lies at the intersection of business and human rights. Her scholarship explores various legal mechanisms for improving the social and environmental performance of multinational corporations. She is the founding Director of the Rutgers Law School’s Business & Human Rights Law Program and the Responsible Contracting Project (RCP), the mission of which is to improve human rights in global supply chains through innovative contracting practices.

Abstract
The concept of human rights due diligence is a means to help companies identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address their adverse human rights impacts on society. Recent years have seen the enactment of laws mandating companies to undertake human rights due diligence and ongoing debate about how this concept can be most effectively applied in different business contexts. This workshop features two UConn Honors thesis research projects exploring different dimensions of this phenomenon.
Lunch will be provided. Please register below.
