In collaboration with UNDP Better Than Cash Alliance, Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH), Living Wage Foundation, UNDP Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST) initiative, and the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, the UN Global Compact Network UK is hosting a world café style roundtable discussion during its 2025 Annual Summit to explore various topics relating to decent work and how business can be a force for good in ensuring the workplace is fair, safe, and inclusive for all.

Each organisation will host a table relating to a certain topic on decent work, including topics such as:

• Highlighting the importance of digital payments in bolstering financial inclusion
• Fostering a safe workplace that considers wellbeing and mental health 
• Providing a living wage to employees and advocating for it in supply chains 
• Raising awareness of pervasive modern slavery and trafficking in value chains 
• Examining how emerging digital technologies can increase inequalities in the workforce
