Why you should care about Due Diligence

Conducting sustainability due diligence practices is not merely a legal obligation for companies, it also provides numerous supply chain and stakeholder-related benefits, such as reducing risks, strengthening resilience, and preserving the social license to operate.

The company perspective on challenges, needs and path forward for effective supply chain due diligence

How companies conduct human rights and environmental (HREDD) due diligence across their mineral supply chains and how they can improve this process, is a topic of ongoing discussion among policy makers, academia and public. Despite numerous voluntary and/or mandatory regulations, guidelines and tools intended to help companies comply with the evolving landscape of due diligence, they often struggle with implementing meaningful due diligence that delivers real environmental and social impact across their mineral value chains.
