Speaker Biography
Benafsha (Bee) Delgado is Head of Social Sustainability at the UN Global Compact Network UK (UNGC-UK), a position she has held since 2015. In this role, Bee leads a programme that supports companies in addressing pressing social sustainability challenges, such as modern slavery, child labour, human rights due diligence, transparency in global supply chains, and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Bee brings extensive experience in the intersection of business, human rights, and social impact. Prior to joining UNGC-UK, she worked at Aviva plc, where she played a key role in developing & implementing the company’s modern slavery strategy. She previously worked at the Prince of Wales’ International Business Leaders’ Forum (IBLF) as a Coordinator in the Business Standards team and contributed to the development of the "Guide to Human Rights Impact Assessment and Management" tool.

A central aspect of Bee’s work has been advocating for the role of investors in driving change on human rights issues. She has been particularly focused on the critical role of data in identifying and addressing child labour and other human rights abuses within global supply chains. Through her work, she has helped companies and investors better understand how they can leverage data to create more transparent, ethical, and sustainable business practices.
