Corporate human rights due diligence – episode 3 – understanding and mitigating risk

Human rights due diligence is no longer a compliance exercise — it is a strategic imperative. As regulatory frameworks tighten and scrutiny intensifies, businesses that truly understand their supply chains, engage meaningfully with rights holders and prioritise their most salient risks will not only mitigate legal and reputational exposure, but strengthen resilience, protect continuity and build long-term value.

In the third episode of this miniseries – and as part of the Retail Collection series – Kerry Stares, Partner and Director for Responsible Business at Charles Russell Speechlys, sat down with Duncan Warner, Senior Responsible Sourcing & Human Rights Manager for ASDA, to discuss these issues in more depth on developing a more robust framework for human rights due diligence.
