A report commissioned by ETI has investigated how business models are at the forefront of creating pressures on labour standards in global supply chains.
Explores what responsible business practices entail in the context of sourcing changes, specifically when “disengaging” – that is, making substantial reductions in sourcing volumes or terminating supply chain business relationships.
Human rights due diligence (HRDD) is the process by which companies identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for the impact of their operations and supply chains on people.
Implementing human rights due diligence (HRDD) requires more than a policy commitment. It involves building a practical system that identifies risks to people, takes action to address them, and improves over time.
Identifying risks is only the first step. Addressing those risks requires companies to work closely with suppliers — not just to enforce standards, but to build the conditions for sustainable improvement.
