It challenges the easy narratives around responsible sourcing and asks what the global demand for cobalt means for the children, families and communities at the very bottom of the supply chain.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Following the 30-minute screening, Cristina Karrer will join business and civil society experts for a candid conversation about what the film and its themes mean for companies operating in complex, high-risk supply chains. The discussion, moderated by The Centre, will explore where corporate responsibility begins and how far it extends, what responsible engagement with mining communities can look like, and how businesses can address child labour and support better livelihoods without simply walking away from difficult sourcing contexts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The conversation will also examine a bigger question: can the green transition truly be called “just” if the children and communities supplying its critical minerals are left behind?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The session will conclude with an audience Q&amp;A, giving participants the opportunity to challenge assumptions, share perspectives and consider what meaningful action could look like for business, governments, civil society and communities.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Time and date:</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><ul class=" list-paddingleft-2" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Thurs, October 1, 2016 | Day 3 | 13:00 - 14:20</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">What to expect</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><ul class=" list-paddingleft-2" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">A documentary screening offering an unfiltered perspective on child labour and livelihoods in cobalt-producing communities.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;">A candid discussion with business, civil society and the filmmaker on the realities behind critical mineral supply chains.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;">Practical perspectives on responsible engagement, including child labour prevention and remediation in high-risk sourcing regions.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;">A critical conversation on corporate responsibility several tiers down complex supply chains.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;;">A debate on what a genuinely just transition requires for children, young people and mining-dependent communities.</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Confirmed speakers:</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><ul class=" list-paddingleft-2" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Mark Robertson, Senior Vice President, The Centre for Child Rights and Business (Moderator)</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Cristina Karrer, Award-winning Swiss filmmaker</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Edouard Swana, Community Relations Manager, Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM)</span></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">More speakers to be confirmed soon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Don’t miss this opportunity to see the realities behind the green transition, hear directly from those working closest to the issues, and join a conversation about what responsible business engagement can mean in practice.</span></p><p><br/></p>"
