Comprehensive HRDD Tools
The tools in this section provide resources for companies to identify, address, embed, track and communicate actual and potential adverse human rights impacts or tools that encompass virtually all steps.
United Nations Guiding Principle No 17: In order to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address their adverse human rights impacts, business enterprises should carry out human rights due diligence. The process should include assessing actual and potential human rights impacts, integrating and acting upon the findings, tracking responses, and communicating how impacts are addressed. Human rights due diligence:
Should cover adverse human rights impacts that the business enterprise may cause or contribute to through its own activities, or which may be directly linked to its operations, products or services by its business relationships;
Will vary in complexity with the size of the business enterprise, the risk of severe human rights impacts, and the nature and context of its operations;
Should be ongoing, recognizing that the human rights risks may change over time as the business enterprise’s operations and operating context evolve.
