The Responsible Business Hubs (RBH) are local help desks that offer tailor-made information, awareness raising and advisory services around due diligence to local producers, associations and service providers. ​ They are gateway for local businesses that want to step up their sustainability performance and comply with provisions deriving from due diligence legislation. Although the services of the RBHs in Asia are open to all industries, they are foremost tailored to the textile and garment sector. Currently, RBHs are established in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Serbia and Vietnam, but more countries will be following as part of a growing global RBH network. The RBH are hosted by local associations and chambers that have a strong network among local businesses and enjoy their trust.
