ACTION

01

Regularly assess the quality of your company’s human rights due diligence policies and practices and seek opportunities for improvement

Continuously improve supply chain initiatives

  • Continuously improve upon prior supply chain initiatives and collaborate with other stakeholders to stay aligned with the most up-to-date best practices and evolving legal requirements.

Assess company’s due diligence

  • Assess the efficacy of your company’s due diligence, including three aspects outlined by Shift:  
    • the quality of a company’s human rights risk identification and prioritization processes.
    • the quality of its engagement with affected stakeholders.
    • the quality of its actions to address salient human rights issues, including setting meaningful targets and collaborating with others to use leverage.

Review best practices

Shift

  • Shift has developed key considerations that companies committed to respecting human rights should keep in mind. These include incentivizing robust due diligence measures through accountability (beyond liability) and assessing the quality of human rights due diligence measures.
  • Strengthen the quality of human rights due diligence, such as outlined in Shift’s “Signals of Seriousness” for Human Rights Due Diligence.
