We help Investment Teams understand emerging legislation and risk, for enhanced Supply Chains Environmental and Social Human Rights due diligence, empowered ESG decision-making, and amplified positive impact.

ESG isn’t going away.

A flurry of new EU, USA and more regulations require better business human rights and environmental due diligence by companies, especially on supply chains.

Investment teams and ESG professionals need to understand where forced child labour, exploitation and pollution happen in Investee supply chains, and what Companies should be expected to do about it.

Investors need to ensure that the businesses they invest in, are doing improved due diligence steps to assess, act on, and prevent risks that exist in most global supply chains.

Increased human rights due diligence by business are expected by the:

  • EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) which also affects nearly 4,000 US companies,..

  • German supply chains human rights due diligence Act,

  • French, Swiss, etc Human Rights due diligence Acts,

  • pending EU CSDDD Directive,

  • Other European legislation,

  • US Tariff Act and Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act,

and More.

When properly assessed, most supply chains have suppliers with:

  • Labour and safety standards not in full compliance

  • Migrant workers who have paid agents fees creating bonded labour modern slavery situations, and

  • Environmental management they can improve, especially CO2, other GHG, water and other emissions reductions.

  • The ESG and due diligence work is to find out which suppliers, and remediate the needed improvements. Our Course helps you understand how you should expect companies to do that, and why.
