Human Rights Due Diligence and the Environment: A Practical Tool for Business

NOTE: To enable the interactive features across the Practical Tool, it is recommended to view it as a downloaded PDF rather than in a (smartphone) web-browser. Learn more about the Practical Tool's diverse interactive features on p.11.

The Practical Tool offers businesses practical advice, experiences, and insights on how to integrate environmental dimensions into their human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for how they address adverse impacts on human rights resulting from environmental harms, including on the new right to a healthy environment.

The Practical Tool can also be of relevance to other stakeholders, particularly States in developing human rights and environmental due diligence and disclosure measures, as well as CSOs, trade unions, community-based groups, National Human Rights Institutions, environmental human rights defenders, and investors engaged in working with and monitoring businesses’ human rights and environmental performance.
