What Is Human Rights Due Diligence?

Human rights due diligence is a structured, risk-based process to:

• Identify potential and actual human rights impacts

• Assess severity, likelihood, and potential exposure

• Prevent, mitigate, and remediate adverse effects

• Ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with international standards

It is a key component of responsible business practices, ESG integration, and regulatory compliance.

Why Human Rights Due Diligence Matters

For organisations, failing to address human rights risks can result in:

• Legal penalties and regulatory enforcement

• Operational disruption across supply chains

• Reputational damage and stakeholder scrutiny

• Investor divestment and ESG-related risk

For governments, robust human rights due diligence supports:

• Policy compliance with international conventions

• Protection of vulnerable communities

• Transparent governance and public trust

• Sustainable economic development
