Sources
We list credible and independent sources that you can use to identify and assess adverse impacts.
Under guidelines and topic-wide support, you will find the international frameworks that form the basis of the work on due diligence. You will also find the UN and ILO convention databases and legislative databases, information on global mineral production, and topic-wide sources.
We have also listed sources for assessing human rights, workers' rights, the environment, and business ethics, as well as for identifying particularly vulnerable groups.
Finally, we have compiled links to global unions.
