Human Rights Due Diligence and Responsible Sourcing

Module 1: human-rights risk context

Establish the vocabulary, boundaries, stakeholders, and decision context for human-rights risk context. Use evidence review, responsibility mapping, and implementation workshops to test assumptions against the client context.

Separate established requirements and reliable evidence from untested assumptions about human-rights risk context. Record the decision, supporting evidence, and unresolved questions in the governance diagnostic.

Map human-rights risk context to the organization’s current responsibilities, dependencies, and constraints. State what would trigger rejection, escalation, or redesign of the proposed approach.

Module 2: value-chain mapping

Diagnose the current state of value-chain mapping using a structured evidence review. Use evidence review, responsibility mapping, and implementation workshops to test assumptions against the client context.

Compare alternative methods and select an approach suited to risk, maturity, and scale. Record the decision, supporting evidence, and unresolved questions in the evidence review.

Document requirements, owners, decision criteria, and exceptions for value-chain mapping. State what would trigger rejection, escalation, or redesign of the proposed approach.

Module 3: supplier due diligence

Design the workflow, safeguards, and handoffs required for supplier due diligence. Use evidence review, responsibility mapping, and implementation workshops to test assumptions against the client context.

Test normal, failure, and edge-case scenarios before operational adoption. Record the decision, supporting evidence, and unresolved questions in the implementation roadmap.

Review the design for security, quality, accessibility, sustainability, or assurance implications as relevant. State what would trigger rejection, escalation, or redesign of the proposed approach.

Module 4: remedy monitoring and reporting

Define meaningful measures, evidence, review cadence, and escalation thresholds for remedy monitoring and reporting. Use evidence review, responsibility mapping, and implementation workshops to test assumptions against the client context.

Investigate performance gaps and separate root causes from symptoms. Record the decision, supporting evidence, and unresolved questions in the governance diagnostic.

Plan corrective action, controlled change, and accountable follow-through. State what would trigger rejection, escalation, or redesign of the proposed approach.

Module 5: Applied Human Rights Due Diligence and Responsible Sourcing Workshop

Complete a evidence review that integrates the course decisions around responsible sourcing exercise. Use evidence review, responsibility mapping, and implementation workshops to test assumptions against the client context.

Defend recommendations against a realistic stakeholder challenge or scenario. Record the decision, supporting evidence, and unresolved questions in the evidence review.

Produce a prioritized workplace action plan with owners, dependencies, and review points. State what would trigger rejection, escalation, or redesign of the proposed approach.
