ICAR’s Eighth Annual Meeting (2019)
Since our founding in 2010, ICAR has hosted members and partners from the Business and Human Rights and Corporate Accountability movement for an annual conference in Washington, D.C. to freely explore new ideas, share tactics, and strategize for the future. This year, ICAR convened its Eighth Annual Meeting on April 24-25, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
The meeting focused on three key themes: addressing inequality through greater government oversight of corporations; effective human rights due diligence; and strategies to counter the closing of civic space. We commemorated the life and contributions of our former colleague, Gwynne Skinner, with the first annual namesake award to Steve Hitov for his groundbreaking work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to advance labor rights protection in agricultural supply chains.
While the ICAR Annual Meeting is typically an internally facing meeting for and by civil society organizations, in the spirit of making information accessible to the broader community, we’d like to make the following resources publicly available.
