Sources
Credible and independent sources help you and suppliers to identify and assess adverse impacts in the supply chain.
Introduction
Under guidelines and support you will find the international frameworks that form the basis for due diligence. You will also find the UN and ILO convention databases and legislative databases as well as information on the world production of minerals.
We have then listed sources for the assessment of human rights, workers' rights, the environment and business ethics in each country, as well as for identifying particularly vulnerable groups. Finally, we have collected links to global unions.
