What is Human Rights Due Diligence?
Improve your impact on people! Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is the process of implementing procedures that will reduce the risk a company has of negatively impacting human rights and working conditions.
Who is affected by HRDD?
Whether you are a small or large organisation, private or public, from any location or sector, it is safe to say that all organisations will be affected by HRDD sooner or later.
Companies are required to ensure human rights and decent working conditions within their own operations and supply chains by conducting human rights due diligence in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
With increasing focus on businesses’ impact on human rights and more laws requiring companies to conduct Human Rights Due Diligence, companies that fail to act will face legal consequences, in addition to reputational damage.
