The CWC’s Labour Rights Investor Network (LRIN), together with UNI Global Union, is pleased to invite institutional investors to a series of in-person events and workshops taking place across multiple countries throughout November 2025.
These sessions will bring together asset owners, asset managers, unions, and labour rights experts to explore how labour-rights stewardship with a focus on freedom of association and collective bargaining, may help mitigate material risks and drive long-term value creation.
Each event will also provide space for discussion and peer exchange, offering participants an opportunity to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another to strengthen stewardship approaches to labour rights.
Space is limited for all sessions, and advance registration is required. Please follow the links below to register for each session.

The Labour Behind AI: UN Forum on Business and Human Rights – Breakfast Side Event
8:00 AM – 9:30 AM | Flory Room at the John Knox International Centre, 27 chemin des Crêts de Pregny, 1218 Grand-Saconnex, Geneva
In this session, the panel will aim to introduce participants to the AI data supply chain and examine how major tech companies rely – via third-party providers – on a vast, mostly hidden, supply chain of data labelers, annotators and content moderators to train their AI models, often replicating models of outsourcing familiar in manufacturing industries.
Participants will hear directly from a data worker about the working conditions they experience, and the discussion will explore potential pathways forward to prevent existing inequalities from becoming further embedded in the development of AI and the role investors, businesses, and civil society can play in building fairer, more transparent digital value chains.
