Produktbeschreibung

Human rights due diligence (HRDD) is becoming a mainstay of corporate responsibility. However, there is still a great deal of effort that needs to be undertaken by businesses to implement HRDD in a manner that provides them with an understanding of their adverse human rights impacts and includes actions to effectively address those impacts. Consequently, businesses require assistance and guidance from their legal counsel on various aspects of the HRDD process in order to meet their responsibility to respect human rights.

The 15 chapters in this book will further lawyers' understanding of human rights due diligence and allow them to advise their business clients in a manner that aids those clients with adoption and implementation of good practices to enhance their effectiveness in addressing their potential and actual human rights impacts.
