Since the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights were endorsed in 2011—and incorporated in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises in 2023—businesses worldwide are now expected to perform due diligence in protecting human rights, including labour and environmental rights, across their entire value chain.
Currently, more and more governments are introducing legislation that incorporates these guidelines, compelling companies to do Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD).
This offers trade unions a unique opportunity to claim their role as key stakeholders in these HREDD processes. It is vital for unions and other parties to recognize how crucial unions are as rights-holders in these discussions. However, for trade unions to play an effective role, they must have a thorough understanding of the due diligence process
To help trade unions navigate HREDD
That's why CNV Internationaal, with the support of GIZ / FABRIC Cambodia, developed a toolkit to help trade unions navigate HREDD and fully grasp their potential role in each step of the due diligence process, empowering them to safeguard rights and promote corporate accountability.
Choose your tailored training packages for varied needs
The HREDD Training Toolkit for Trade Unions is designed with three distinct training packages to meet various needs. These packages recognize the different levels of involvement that trade union members may have in HREDD processes. For example, while trade union leaders might require a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of HREDD and the union's role within it, other members may only need to focus on how HREDD applies to their day-to-day work.
