Beyond Compliance: Innovating Human Rights Due Diligence 🌍 In a thought-provoking webinar, Gwendolyn Remmert from Sustainable Links emphasised the need to go beyond a legal checklist for Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD). True impact requires a shift: HRDD must become a change process within organisations, driven by innovation. Key Takeaways: 🚀A Long-Term Change Process: Implementing HRDD meaningfully is about evolving organisational practices and culture. 🚀Innovation > Compliance: While legal frameworks are crucial, they’re not always the strongest drivers for innovation in addressing human rights risks. 🚀Embracing Uncertainty: We may not have all the answers now, but fostering creative solutions is essential to managing and mitigating risks effectively. As we navigate an evolving legal landscape, let’s embrace innovative, adaptive HRDD practices to create lasting, positive change. #AndWider  #HRDD #SustainableLinks #BizHumanRights

&Wider and Sustainable Links recently addressed some common myths in the human rights due diligence space during a webinar. 💡 One of the myths they tackled was the idea that the objective of human rights due diligence is to certify that a supply chain is clean. Gwendolyn Remmert shared valuable insights on this topic, emphasising that the purpose of human rights due diligence goes beyond mere certification. It is about continuously assessing, mitigating, and preventing human rights impacts throughout the supply chain, rather than simply proving it to be "clean." This proactive approach aims to foster ongoing improvements and accountability, rather than offering a one-time certification. If you want to delve deeper, the webinar snippet might provide further clarity on her perspective! ⬇️ #HumanRightsDueDiligence #BizHumanRights #SupplyChainTransparency #SustainableLinks #AndWider

Human Rights Due Diligence: Acting When It Matters Most 💡 In our recent webinar, Lea Esterhuizen and Gwendolyn Remmert discussed a crucial aspect of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD): being ready to act. Achieving meaningful human rights diligence goes beyond identifying risks; it requires response protocols and cross-functional synergy to act promptly when issues arise. Scenario planning for “if this, then that” ensures a prepared response to mitigate or prevent adverse impacts. Key Insights: 🎯 Proactive Readiness: HRDD readiness means more than assessment—it means planning actionable responses for potential scenarios. 🎯 Cross-functional Synergy: Effective responses require alignment across business functions. 🎯 Geographical Insight: Anticipating and understanding impacts in sourcing regions strengthens due diligence. #AndWider #HumanRightsDueDiligence #HRDD #SustainableLinks

Happy 10th Birthday &Wider!!! Here's to another 10 years of impact 🎉🎉

Myth-Busting Human Rights Due Diligence 🚨 In our latest webinar, industry leader  Lea Esterhuizen shed light on a common misconception: that Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is merely about risk assessment. Understanding and addressing adverse human rights impacts in global supply chains is crucial. Guided by the OECD framework and UN Guiding Principles, effective due diligence requires more than just a checklist; it demands a robust infrastructure for action. Key Takeaways: 🚀Beyond Checking: It's not enough to simply assess potential risks. We must also take meaningful steps to address any human rights impacts uncovered. 🚀Proactive Measures: Organizations are expected to cease, prevent, or mitigate impacts and provide remediation when necessary. 🚀Transparency is Key: Communicate your findings, actions taken, and the outcomes of your measures. #AndWider #HumanRightsDueDiligence #HRDD #CSDDD
