Supply Chain Sustainability
We advance research, data and human rights traceability in supply chain production, procurement, sourcing, manufacturing and hiring that fuels unethical working and climate practices. In advocating for sustainable supply chains, we are pushing towards a human rights based approach to a carbon neutral industry which thrives on ethical practices, equitable social justice and ecological integrity.
Facts
- The emergence of key regulations such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is not just a significant development, but a crucial one. These directives, along with the German Supply Chain Act, provide mandatory guidelines for implementing human rights due diligence practices in supply chains, a crucial aspect for businesses to be aware of and comply with.
- It’s imperative for companies to adopt a top-down approach, ensuring that their sourcing chains, procurement, production, transportation, workers, and contractors are not violating human rights. This approach underscores the urgency and importance of the issue, compelling businesses to take immediate action.
- For the successful implementation of human rights due diligence in supply chains, a meticulous research-data-driven approach is indispensable. This approach plays a crucial role in understanding how organizations conduct their business and in advancing knowledge on the challenges and impacts of implementing regulations.
- A human rights-based approach to supply chain management considers the impact of business practices on human beings. This effect is not only related to illegal workplace practices but also has significant climate and environmental implications.
