Human Rights Due Diligence evaluates how a company systematically identify → prevent → mitigate → account for actual and potential adverse impacts on people across its operations, supply chain and business relationships. It covers:

• risk & impact assessments – country-, sector- and commodity-specific mapping, worker and community consultations, and desktop research that highlight salient human-rights issues (e.g., forced labour, freedom of association, land rights, privacy);
• integrated action plans – embedding findings into contracts, procurement criteria, management systems and corrective-action plans with clear responsibilities, timelines and resources;
• tracking & verification – KPIs, audits, worker voice tools and third-party assessments that measure effectiveness of mitigation measures and drive continuous improvement;
• stakeholder engagement & remedy – meaningful dialogue with affected rights-holders, accessible grievance mechanisms, and remediation pathways that restore rights and provide compensation where harm occurs;
• governance & transparency – board oversight, policy commitments, capacity-building, and public reporting (e.g., modern-slavery statements, UNGP reporting, EU CSDDD compliance) demonstrating alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights (UNGPs), OECD Due-Diligence Guidance, ILO core conventions and forthcoming EU ESRS S3.
