Snapshot co-organized by the Working Group on Business and Human Rights and Proforest

This session will introduce a new Converged Human Rights and Environment Due Diligence (HREDD) Assessment Tool. Originally authored by the Fair Labor Association, over the last year it has been piloted and adapted by Proforest in partnership with AIM Progress and the Consumer Goods Forum Human Rights Coalition (membership of which comprise major FMCG companies). Its collaborative development was prompted by a desire to support convergence on pre-competitive action on HREDD, reducing assessment fatigue.

This tool will help businesses assess the maturity of a company’s HREDD systems across its own operations and supply chains, including both service and goods providers. It can be used by companies in any goods/service sector. It is a practical, ready to use resource inspired by company best practices to support business-to-business engagement and continuous improvement of businesses’ HREDD maturity.

We will briefly introduce the tool and discuss how it fits into business HREDD strategies. We will present an example of how it is being rolled out in a business, and how the tool can be leveraged as the basis for supplier engagement and improvement in HREDD practices.
