Human Rights Due Diligence

Respecting human rights begins at the core of business strategy. Cognitud helps organizations design and operationalize policies that embed human rights principles into procurement, partnerships, and governance, ensuring every decision aligns with ethical and sustainable practices.

Through comprehensive human rights risk assessments, we help organizations uncover potential risks and prioritize preventive measures. This early identification minimizes operational disruptions, protects communities, and builds trust with stakeholders and regulators alike.

Developing a robust human rights due diligence policy ensures that respect for human rights is embedded in corporate culture. Cognitud supports the creation of clear roles, oversight mechanisms, and a human rights audit checklist for human rights due diligence. With our frameworks, businesses can monitor progress, demonstrate responsibility, and maintain alignment with global frameworks.

We assist organizations in developing effective systems for human rights monitoring and human rights impact assessments that enables organizations to track progress, evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures, and communicate outcomes to stakeholders through transparent reporting. This strengthens accountability and demonstrates a genuine commitment to protecting human dignity and equity.
