Neste novo episódio do nosso Podcast, dedicado ao tema do impacto da proposta de Diretiva no setor financeiro e bancário, o Dr. Bruno Ferreira numa conversa com Dussu Djabula e Raquel Burgoa Dias dá-nos a conhecer as consequências práticas da implementação do processo continuado de devida diligência e da inclusão na sua estratégia empresarial, questões de direitos humanos, ambiente e objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável. A publicação da tão aguardada Proposta de ‘Diretiva sobre Diligência Devida e Sustentabilidade Empresarial’ pela Comissão Europeia no dia 23 de Fevereiro de 2022 consubstancia um momento histórico na área de Business & Human Rights, e ao trazer um novo horizonte regulatório também traz consigo novos desafios e incertezas. Neste episódio abordam-se os principais desafios que os bancos e as empresas enfrentarão na implementação da Diretiva e de como serão afetadas as suas atividades.

There is a growing interest from companies in conducting their business activities in a more responsible and sustainable way, nevertheless, there is one impact that is still rarely discussed: that of the “democracy footprint”, which includes corporate lobbying, political spending, and other forms of corporate political influence aimed at shaping regulations designed to benefit society.

In this new episode of the NOVA BHRE Podcast Dussu Djabula and Isabel Ruivo discuss with Professor Alberto Alemanno lobbying and how it can be used to enact societal changes.

Professor Alberto Alemanno, is an academic, author, social entrepreneur and a public interest lawyer. He’s Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law at HEC Paris and founder of The Good Lobby. Alberto's ultimate goal is to equalize access to power by mainstreaming lobbying as a new practice of civic and democratic life. Originally from Italy, Alberto is a graduate of Harvard Law School, the College of Europe and holds a PhD in International Law & Economics from Bocconi University.
