Due Diligence

The Guiding Principles suggest a five stage approach to due diligence:

  1.  identify and assess actual and potential human rights impacts
  2. consult with affected groups and relevant stakeholders
  3. integrate the impact assessment findings across relevant internal functions and processes
  4. prevent or mitigate potential adverse impacts and take part in remediation if violations have already occurred
  5. track responses and communicate how impacts are identified and addressed.

    This approach is explored fully in the section: Risk Management.
