The Challenge :

Mandatory HRDD laws now demand that MNEs go beyond the traditional cycle of audits, Corrective Action plans, and enforcements. The MNE’s are expected to take full responsibility of human rights risks deep within their supplier chain.

However, with limited resources and volatile business dynamics, managing every supplier premise is nearly impossible. This creates a disconnect: brands need total oversight, while suppliers often view requirements as just another administrative hurdle. It becomes especially more challenging when certain sectors and suppliers who are relatively new even for meeting compliance expectations.

The need is that the suppliers now respond differently to HRDD laws.

Our Offer :

This is where we leverage the existing business relationship between MNEs and their suppliers to create a participatory, facilitative transformation.

Case in Point :

One of our brand partner needed to respond in new sectors with products range for pets, camping, food, tier 2 suppliers, across 5 countries- namely Cambodia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Pakistan, and Madagascar. We don't just add a new layer of rules; we broke down essential systems so suppliers can sustainably identify, prevent, and mitigate risks before they escalate.

Depending on the maturity levels of the suppliers, the journey created adoption of a functional policy and communication environment, independent audit and investigation mechanisms, flagging of high risks/incidents to the brand partners on time and a sustainable remediation.

A supply chain that doesn't just pass an audit but provides you with the verified data and confidence needed to engage with global stakeholders and regulators.
