Dear MDBC Members,

Mark your calendars for the next Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) Working Group event!  This closed door, by invitation only event will be unique with a different set – up to previous editions.

Roundtable discussions with external companies and partners will focus on RBC topics such as the omnibus regulations, Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and forced labour.  The objective of these discussions is to share best practices, knowledge, and experiences.

For this RBC event, working group members, tier – one suppliers, and invited guests will participate in a deep dive into the relevant topics, hear from local experiences, and share information with other companies and stakeholders from the network.

Date: Thursday, 12 November 2026
Time: 15:30 – 20:00 hrs
Venue: Ambassador’s Residence (Subject to change)

Additional information will be available soon.

Agenda:

Part I: Opening and Welcome Remarks
Part 2: Roundtable Discussions
Part 3: Networking Dinner

The Dutch and EU governments expect companies to operate sustainably and with respect for human rights, labor rights, and the environment — in the Netherlands, in the EU, and abroad. It is of major importance to your business to keep up with the regulations in the EU, to ensure ethical production, sustainability, and compliance with human rights and labor laws.

In 2023, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Malaysia and the Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC) launched the MY Orange Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) Working Group (WG). This dynamic initiative is designed to foster a vibrant, collaborative learning space where companies can share inspiring success stories and confront common challenges head – on, elevating standards in responsible business practices and due diligence.
