The result? Bifurcated supply chains, with ethical producers more likely to be shipping to the west & those with major sustainability concerns, like #RGE, exporting to #China (or #India).

There’s a risk that this #bifurcation of supply chains gets worse. #Europe new deforestation regulation, and coming #HRDD rules, will only increase traceability pressure on tropical supply chains. The US has been cracking down on goods made using #forcedlabor, with blocks up 38000% in five years.

Human Rights due diligence laws advancing colonisation? Slide by Prof Florian Wettstein #mHRDD #HRDD #bizhumanrights #bhr #bhre #colonialism

Check out out new #openaccess paper on "Business strategy as human rights risk: the case of private equity".

With the fab @DavidBirchall we argue that the PE model contains serious risks to rights of workers and others, and that the model should be addressed specifically in emerging mHRDD laws.

Curious to know how companies are already doing #HRDD in the downstream? Our new report includes real world case studies from Novo Nordisk, Reckitt Benckiser, Ericsson, Mærsk, Vestas and Pandora to show that it is a part of day to day business. The #UNGPs and #OECDGLs expect companies to undertake due diligence along the full value chain, and these case studies show how downstream #HRDD can be done in practice across a range of sectors and contexts: https://www.humanrights.dk/publications/due-diligence-downstream-value-chain-case-studies-current-company-practice

ICYMI: One of the highlights we attended at last week's #UNForumBHR. "The importance of rights holder perspectives in the design of remedial mechanisms." Examples of what meaningful #HRDD can look like when it’s negotiated with workers.

#CHRB2022 shows that elevating #bizhumanrights responsibilities to the board & senior management level appears to be key for stronger company action on #HRDD https://bit.ly/CHRB2022

@grabosch A good example of your point is how the OECD has expanded and elaborated on the #HRDD model in the #UNGPs.
