Environmental and human rights due diligence as a means to strengthen sustainable business conduct

The project connects the concurrent yet often detached discourses on due diligence, sustainability management, supply chain management etc., with the aim to build a consistent and improved political framework towards sustainable and responsible business conduct. As part of the project, the project team analyses central concepts and their terminology, hold an international conference and draw recommendations on how to improve environmental and human rights due diligence through both voluntary and legal means.
