This guide was developed by TAFTAC in collaboration with Sustainable Links, Business & Human Rights Law Group and RBH Cambodia with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through Deutsche Gesellschaft fĆ¼r Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, FABRIC Cambodia project.
This guide can help an organization get ready to implement Human Rights & Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD). It was developed for:
- Factory Management and senior decision-makers
- If applicable, persons responsible for Legal and Compliance, Human Resources, and/or Operations.
The guide focuses on the questions of WHAT HREDD is and WHY it should be implemented within an organization. It also provides an overview of tools and resources that can support HOW to approach HREDD.
There is no āone-size-fits-allā approach to implementing HREDD. No one can tell you exactly what to do because your organisation has a unique risk profile and only you know what is right for your business. The Guide is not a step-by-step checklist because HREDD is an ongoing process that is never finished, or perfect. And that is ok. The goal is that you develop an approach to HREDD that is right for you, your business and those who could be affected by your operations.
