The Problem

Internal stakeholders and suppliers need real understanding — not just awareness — to reinforce due diligence objectives rather than undermine them. Training is just as important as auditing, yet it’s commonly undervalued or deprioritized.

Our Approach

Training is a central component of due diligence. We deliver structured training for both corporate teams and suppliers, plus a flagship three-part program (“Step One”) for suppliers who need a complete grounding in due diligence fundamentals.

The Details

Corporate trainings:

• Code of Conduct
• Understanding Human Rights Due Diligence
• Responsible Purchasing Practices (RPP)
• Customized trainings

Supplier training and capacity building:

• Understanding HRDD, Codes of Conduct, and social auditing
• Forced and child labor mitigation and management systems
• Grievance mechanisms
• Root cause analysis and corrective action planning
• Internal audit team training

“Step One” Supplier Training Program:

• Three two-hour sessions covering the topics above (single supplier or supplier group options)
• Includes 2 hours of additional help desk support

Who It’s For

Corporate teams and suppliers/factories who need a working understanding of due diligence, codes of conduct, and remediation processes — whether starting from scratch or reinforcing existing programs.
