The U.S. Government Expectations for Businesses on Human Rights Due Diligence
“[…] the USG expects businesses to account for populations that face disproportionate impacts of business activity in conducting HRDD. Best practice dictates developing policies to protect HRDs and taking steps to prevent reprisals against defenders. Throughout their HRDD efforts, businesses should account for the disproportionate harms business activity can have on marginalized populations, including women and girls in all their diversity; persons with disabilities; members of ethnic, religious, linguistic, or racial minority groups; Indigenous Peoples; LGBTQI+ persons; children; and migrant workers.” (p.10)
