HUMAN RIGHTS DUE DILIGENCE
We help you to develop and implement a human rights strategy
New laws and international standards on human rights significantly increase the pressure on companies to comply with their human rights due diligence. Key drivers include the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the German government’s National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights (NAP), and the current German discussion on a Supply Chain Act. Respect for human rights is not only a component of corporate responsibility, but also creates added value for companies and stakeholders.
We enable you to define an adequate human rights strategy and integrate it into your business processes:
Goal-oriented approach
We develop with you a clear position on the topic of human rights, which provides you a roadmap for the implementation of your human rights due diligence
Transparency through risk analysis
We create transparency on human rights risks along your entire value chain. We also prioritize the most important human rights issues for you
Clarity about improvement opportunities
We systematically assess how well your company guidelines and processes are set up in regards to human rights diligence. In the process, you will receive concrete recommendations for necessary adjustments
Impactful measures
We support you in the selection, implementation and impact measurement of your measures by which you effectively avoid and reduce negative impacts on human rights
