本文探讨了世界各地的公司在尝试实施《商业与人权指导原则》所设想的人权尽职调查 (HRDD) 方面的做法。基于通过调查和访谈进行的实证研究，它分析了该领域的企业实践。它根据实施 HRDD 的核心要素审查了公司的反应：确定实际或潜在的人权影响；采取行动应对这些影响；跟踪或监控行动的有效性。此外，本文将这些做法置于 HRDD 领域法律发展的背景下。研究表明，与非人权特定流程相比，专门的 HRDD 可以在识别公司及其业务关系中的不利人权影响方面发挥作用。
This article considers the practices of companies worldwide in attempting to implement human rights due diligence (HRDD) as envisaged by the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Based on empirical research conducted through surveys and interviews, it analyses corporate practices in this area. It examines the responses of companies with reference to the core elements of implementing HRDD: identifying actual or potential human rights impacts; taking action to address these impacts; and tracking or monitoring the effectiveness of actions. In addition, the article places these practices in the context of the legal developments in the field of HRDD. The research shows the difference that dedicated HRDD - in comparison with non-human rights specific processes - can make in terms of identifying adverse human rights impacts of both the company as well as of those which are part of its business relationships.
