Question
How will the Welsh Government ensure that the UN guiding principles for business and human rights are a key part of delivering Wales’s global responsibility under the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership
The Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023 further embeds the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 into public procurement. This includes the globally responsible well-being goal. As part of our engagement with social partners and external stakeholders, we have met with several human rights and environmental organisations to explore how best to reflect the UN Guiding Principles, and global responsibility, in the statutory guidance on socially responsible procurement. We plan to consult on the draft guidance later this year.
