The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) invites Swedish companies operating in Türkiye to participate in the Corporate Engagement Programme, a key component of the pilot initiative: “The European Green Deal and EU Türkiye Trade: Corporate Sustainability Regulations and Human Rights Impacts in Türkiye.”
The project is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and
implemented by RWI.
The initiative responds to the growing importance of EU sustainability regulations, related to human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD), sustainability reporting, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, which increasingly affect companies operating in global value chains connected to the EU.
As the European Union’s largest trading partner outside the EU, Türkiye plays a key role in these
value chains, and Swedish companies operating in the country are directly impacted by evolving regulatory frameworks and expectations related to responsible business conduct. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen awareness, capacity, and peer-learning around the social and human rights dimensions of the European Green Deal in the context of EU–Türkiye trade. The project works simultaneously with:
• Public institutions in Türkiye, through a Professional Training Programme for
government officials
• Swedish companies and their major suppliers operating in Türkiye, through the
Corporate Engagement Programme
