What investors need to assess human rights and environmental due diligence
The tools featured on this website are designed with investors and for investors to equip them to evaluate the quality of portfolio companies' human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD), an essential measure of a company's risk exposure. Each tool addresses a pain point - and a point of leverage - in human rights and environmental due diligence. Individually and together, the tools are designed to help investors to discern the quality of HREDD and to improve corporate engagement.

Stakeholder Engagement GuideStakeholder engagement sits at the heart of quality human rights due diligence, but doing it well is complex. Investors don’t have the time or knowledge to determine what to press for in their corporate engagement to improve it, or to ensure that the company is integrating what they have learned through their engagement into their full due diligence process. The Stakeholder Engagement Guide will provide tailored guidance on stakeholder engagement that leverages existing stakeholder engagement standards.

Remedy GuideAccess to a remedy is itself a fundamental right in international human rights law, and a core component of HREDD. It’s also an area that most stymies the private sector. The Remedy Guide will provide much needed translation of remedy that includes and goes beyond company-level grievance mechanisms, demonstrates the financial materiality of the failure to provide remedy, and includes explainers of all forms of remedy expected of companies that cause or contribute to harms.
