The panel aimed to explore corporate sustainability and accountability in global value chains within the context of economic globalization. During the introduction, Commissioner Lai Chen-chang noted the increasing global emphasis on labor rights in supply chains, citing standards such as the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and SA8000 certification, which require employers to bear the costs associated with hiring migrant workers and minimize their cross-border migration expenses to prevent exploitation by intermediaries. Special guest Dr. Bommier joined remotely to share insights on government roles in supply chains and international legislative trends. Dr. Bommier gave a presentation on “Pursuing Judicial Justice: Addressing Corporate Impunity through France’s Duty of Vigilance Law,” offering an international perspective. He emphasized that, under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights Principle 11 (UNGPs), 92 businesses are responsible for respecting and upholding Article 11 of the UNGPs: “Businesses should respect human rights.
