We participated in the Private Sector Pre-Dialogue on Business and Human Rights in East and Horn of Africa, convened by Global Compact Network Kenya in partnership with the Royal Danish Embassy, Danish Industry East Africa, and DanChurchAid (DCA).
Representing TAFRA Energy Ltd , we joined fellow private sector leaders and practitioners in exploring how businesses can turn responsible business conduct and human rights due diligence into a source of competitive advantage across regional and global value chains.
Key takeaways from the session included:
✅ Human rights due diligence is becoming a business imperative, driven by increasing stakeholder expectations, regulatory developments, and market requirements.
✅ Responsible business conduct strengthens competitiveness, enhancing market access, investor confidence, and long-term business sustainability.
✅ Proactive ESG integration and risk management help organizations build resilient operations and future-proof their businesses.
✅ Collaboration across sectors and value chains is essential for addressing human rights challenges and delivering meaningful impact.
✅ Businesses have a critical role to play in advancing sustainable development while protecting the rights and well-being of employees, communities, and other stakeholders.
We appreciate the insightful discussions and knowledge sharing facilitated by DanChurchAid (DCA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNOHCHR), Global Compact Network Kenya (GCNK), Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI), Danish Industry East Africa, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.
As the business environment continues to evolve, responsible business conduct is no longer just about compliance it is a strategic pathway to resilience, growth, and sustainable value creation.
