In the run-up to the 2016 G7 Summit at Ise-shima, civil society organisations from Japan and from many other countries called on the G7 to continue the focus on ensuring responsible supply chains, and to renew and strengthen the commitments in this area made at the 2015 Elmau Summit. Unfortunately, despite these calls, the issue of responsible supply chains was not included the agenda at Ise-shima, and received only very brief mention in the final statement of the Summit. Several NGOs have issued a statement expressing disappointment, and calling on the G7 to, inter alia, implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The NGOs also call on the G7 to create a mechanism for meaningful consultation with stakeholders, including civil society and affected persons and communities.
