It also states that organisations can include information on the parts of the business and supply chains where there is a risk of slavery and human trafficking taking place and the steps taken to address and manage their risk.
What is human rights due diligence?
It is such a measure of prudence, activity or assiduity as is properly expected from a reasonable person. In the context of the UNGPs, human rights due diligence comprises on-going management processes that a reasonable and prudent enterprise needs to undertake.
The organisation’s due diligence processes, whether on modern slavery and human trafficking, or environment, should aim to identify and address potential risks and strive for continual improvement.
