About the data

Due diligence is the process through which companies identify, prevent, mitigate and remedy their actual and potential adverse human rights and environmental impacts.

In this question you are being asked to identify whether the company publicly discloses whether worker/producer/farmer representatives, unions and other affected stakeholders are involved in the due diligence process.

Due diligence is the process through which companies identify, prevent, mitigate and remedy their actual and potential adverse impacts. Due diligence can be included within broader enterprise risk management systems, provided that it goes beyond simply identifying and managing material risks to the enterprise itself to include issues occurring within their supply chain and focuses on identifying the most salient risks to workers, farmers and other affected stakeholders themselves.
