The newly introduced BHR Informal Dialogues will offer an open, dynamic platform for inclusive and in-depth discussions on critical issues within the Business and Human Rights (BHR) agenda. These sessions are structured to encourage autonomous, participant-led conversations without formal speakers or panelists, fostering a free-flowing exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives. The aim is to create a collaborative space where all participants can directly engage with one another, enabling meaningful dialogue that promotes deeper understanding of key issues.

By encouraging active participation from all participants, the BHR Informal Dialogues seek to ensure that a broad range of voices contribute to shaping the future of business and human rights practices. This format prioritizes diversity of views and backgrounds, creating a space where different stakeholders can share insights, experiences, and best practices in a flexible and open environment. There will be no interpretation provided.

This informal and interactive space is open to everyone and is designed to spark collaborative thinking, drive solution-oriented discussions, and contribute to advancing the global BHR agenda.

Each Interactive dialogue will be facilitated by one or two people to ensure effective and inclusive dialogue. The facilitators will guide the discussion, assist in maintaining a balanced conversation, and ensure that all voices are heard. This structure will help both facilitators and participants to ensure a free-flowing exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives.

Topics for Discussion: The BHR Informal Dialogues will focus on a range of pressing topics, including:
  • Responsible Investment: Examining the impact of investment on human rights and business practices

Guiding questions of the dialogue:
  • What is a "smart mix" of tools that investors can use to meaningfully engage with rightsholders (or their representatives)?
  • What has worked well / not worked well from the perspectives of rightsholders and investors?
  • As a rightsholder (or representative), what advice would you give to investors on identifying and engaging with them?
  • As an investor, what advice would you give to rightsholders and their representatives on approaching and engaging with investors?
