Paragraph
Paragraph text
With regard to sector transformation, industry, multi-stakeholder and certification initiatives hold internal discussions on how to move beyond the engagement of a single company or the “silo” of a single supply chain towards sector-wide or market transformation to ensure that sustainability standards, including respect for human rights, are the norm in business. However, the role of such initiatives in sector transformation and their impact on national legal frameworks to promote labour and human rights has been challenged.
