Switzerland – 3rd – Energy Sector

3. New measures contained in the NAP 2024–27

(3.2) Pillar II Corporate responsibility to respect human rights

Measure 4: Promote human rights due diligence in relation to the energy transition

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) definition, the just transition seeks to ensure that the efforts expended to make the economy greener are as fair and inclusive as possible for everyone affected, while creating opportunities for decent work and leaving no one behind. Human rights due diligence stands as a precious contribution to the just transition, in particular with regard to supply chains for new sources of energy. To help companies implement human rights due diligence in relation to this transition, the Federal Administration will organise events with relevant sectors, in conjunction with outside partners.
