Performing obligatory due diligence: Protecting Your Supply Chain

Amidst a surge in new global environmental and human rights regulations, competitive companies must adopt strategies to ensure responsible practices and comply with legislation. From voluntary business-led initiatives to mandatory due diligence in supply chains, the evolving landscape demands a proactive stance.

There are many different types of mandatory due diligence requirements. Some of them focus solely on human rights, others take into account the environment, others address specific issues like climate change or forced labor, and still others work to improve the traceability of goods and services. A robust, risk-based strategy that takes into account regulatory requirements, international ethical standards, and the entire value chain is needed to set up your due diligence framework.
