ETI position on mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence Regulation

Sets out ETI's position on the human rights elements that should be embedded in any regulation on mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (mHREDD) in the UK, and where relevant, in other countries. ETI is calling for a new legislative instrument that addresses both human rights (including labour rights) and environmental risks in supply chains.
