Complying with Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Legislation

The newly released EU human rights due diligence directive – Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDD) – represents the latest legislative action designed to hold companies accountable for the human rights and environmental impacts of their business operations.

What’s expected of companies

Companies must demonstrate that they have an ongoing process to identify, prevent, mitigate and address actual and potential adverse human rights impacts, and publicly report on their findings.

“We came to Ulula during the COVID-19 pandemic and since then, they have been critical to keeping up our on-the-ground engagement with remote agricultural and factory workers. Using their survey and messaging platform we have been able to learn about the pandemic’s impact on labor conditions from workers themselves and we are now quickly working to connect them with needed services, information, and supplies. Even as we return to in-person engagement, we expect Ulula to remain an important part of our engagement strategy.”
