Benefits

Why use the HRDD Tool?

The answer is simple; results. The HRDD tool enables guided assessments against all human rights. That means that not only will you avoid potentially unseen negative impacts on Human Rights and benefit from a wide range of business gains, but you will also meet international standards regarding business and human rights.

Not very experienced with human rights? Don't worry!

The tool simply takes you by the hand and guides you through the UNGPs aligned due diligence process. The HRDD Tool assists users by providing detailed “Guide Me” sections.

Better risk management

Through the management processes operationalised by the HRDD Tool, you will be able to manage impacts on human rights, including potential impacts your company may one day cause. By identifying these potential impacts before they occur, companies are given a head start on preventing impacts and thus reducing the risk for reputational, financial and legal damage.

Shared knowledge and responsibility

By allowing access to an unlimited* amount of users, the HRDD Tool facilitates shared knowledge amongst employees. This shared knowledge and feeling of co-ownership and responsibility creates ideal conditions for mutual learning and improvement, which allows the due diligence process to evolve into an on-going process rooted in the company.

Traceability and transparency

The HRDD Tool allows users to trace their impact assessments and improvements over time, thus enabling users to identify progress and learning. This identification promotes more accurate evaluations and more coherent follow-ups.

Time and resource efficiency

The HRDD tool gives companies a platform for handling a complex matter in an easy way – across internal and external business units. Using the tool enables increased resource and time efficiency. The Human Rights Due Diligence Tool simply streamlines the due diligence process while still helping companies to align their practices with the UNGPs.

Scalability

From small to large in a click

Seamlessly scalable

The Human Rights Due Diligence Tool has been carefully structured to be fully scalable and allow a continuous and seamless workflow regardless which version or tier is currently in use.

All versions of the Human Rights Due Diligence Tool are accessible through csrCloud.com with a single sign-on login to enable instant access to all versions available to the user. Each user’s base unit remains accessible and identical throughout each version to allow cross-app use.

This ensures complete scalability from the Singular version to a full-scale global roll-out throughout the corporation and to include all business relationships. Because all versions of the tool work on the same fundamental structure, no changes, upgrades, or transitions are necessary to scale up or down. You’ll be up and running in minutes, and once the need for additional functions or units arises, it’s as simple as adding a version or setting your tier in your company account settings.

Implementation

How businesses can implement the UNGPs management system in three steps:

COMMITMENT (Policy commitment)

To implement the UNGPs, companies are required to have a policy that commits to respecting human rights. This policy must, amongst others, be publically available, approved by the highest level of management, and describe what you expect from employees and business relationships. Last but not least, companies should use this commitment to guide all their actions. This is referred to in principle 16 of the UNGPs as a ‘policy commitment’.

ASSESSMENT (Due diligence)

Companies’ activities impact the human rights of stakeholders. Therefore companies must identify potential or actual negative impacts on Human Rights. Once companies know how people are impacted, they must then show (communicate) what will be done to prevent or reduce these potential or actual impacts. This process is referred to as ‘human rights due dilligence’ and covers principles 17-21 of the UNGPs.

REACTION & ENGAGEMENT (Access to remedy)

When a negative impact occurs companies need to react. This can be done by, for example, apologising or offering compensation, and then preventing the impact from reoccurring. This is referred to as ‘remediation’ and is covered in principle 22 of the UNGPs. Companies also need to create channels of communication so impacted people can voice their concerns and give provide feedback on your efforts. This is referred to as ‘grievance mechanisms’, covered in principles 28-31.
