Human Rights Due Diligence Training Facilitation Guide
The Training Facilitation Guide provides training modules which clarify what is required to conduct human rights due diligence by focusing on the basics and sticking to internationally agreed principles and widely understood terminology. The objective of these training modules is to clarify the requirements of HRDD by tacking closely to internationally agreed principles and widely understood terminology. Applying a step-by-step approach, this allows for businesses to embark on HRDD as a stand-alone effort or as part of a preexisting assessment process.
