Lara Strangways (Co-founder, Beyond Compliance)

In this episode of Sanctions+, hosts Shahrzad Noorbaloochi and Milana Karayanidi sit down with Lara Strangways to unpack the fast-evolving intersection of business, human rights, and trade compliance. Drawing on her experience leading Business and Human Rights work, Lara explains what it means to move “beyond compliance,” detailing how frameworks like the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the forthcoming EU Forced Labor Regulation compare with the US regulatory landscape. Get tactical on integrating human rights into corporate operations: where procurement teams fit, how to structure effective due diligence and supplier onboarding, and what meaningful, fit-for-purpose remediation looks like when harms are identified.
