Human Rights Due Diligence

Sustainability due diligence plays the key role in corporate responsibility 

Sustainability due diligence, as outlined in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, plays a pivotal role in corporate responsibility regulation, a stance also adopted by EU legislation. A thorough understanding of sustainability due diligence, encompassing both human rights and environmental aspects, is essential before any actionable steps are taken. The obligation of due diligence dictates how comprehensively a company must know its value chain and the actions required for compliance. This duty varies, setting different standards for companies of diverse sizes.
