Session 1: Supply Chain Transparency

After one year of hard work, this session will unveil the final design of the Solar Stewardship Initiative: the SSI Code finalised after the multistakeholder
consultation and the pilot programme, the SSI governance with civil society participation, an effective stakeholder grievance mechanism, a transparent claims guide and an assurance system based on independent audits.
With the legislative procedures on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Forced Labour Ban well underway, the panel will discuss how the SSI can be a reference tool for the industry and other stakeholders to effectively address human rights and environmental impacts across the global solar value chain.
