Deep dive into priority areas of human rights risk and impact
Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIAs) are a tool to help companies get an in-depth understanding of human rights impact dynamics in their value chain.
Our HRIA methodology helps companies get a more nuanced understanding of key human rights risks and develop strategies for mitigation and remediation that are rooted in ‘on the ground’ insights.
As such, they support and enable effective human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD).
Our approach
LRQA has developed a tiered approach that allows companies to select a model that meets their needs.
Stakeholder expectations
We help you meet external stakeholder expectations.
Legislation alignment
We ensure alignment with legislation such as the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) or EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D).
Deep expertise
Our HRIA methodology is informed by our technical expertise in human rights, “boots on the ground” knowledge of supply chains, and proprietary data insights from the LRQA EiQ platform.
Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is transforming the landscape of responsible business. At LRQA, we provide the expertise and tools to help organisations navigate this regulatory shift. From assessing your supply chain risks to ensuring compliance with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements, we deliver comprehensive end-to-end support empowering businesses to meet the directives demands. Partner with LRQA to ensure you’re prepared for the CSDDD
