Demand for Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIAs) and holistic Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD) is rising as companies face increasing pressure from investors and regulatory requirements. To comply with these regulations, companies recognize the need for nuanced risk information, particularly in supply chains.
