Georgie Erangey from BRODIE Consulting talks to Daisy about how new human rights is as a concept, what the reputation risks are for companies, and whether there is any upside to getting this right. TLDR; don't do this for the accolades, do it for your conscience and as risk mitigation. Human rights and supply chain due diligence passed swiftly from a novelty to becoming a hygiene factor. You will rarely get credit for getting supply chain right - but it will protect you from supply chain instability, legal threats and reputation problems down the line.

  • Think about all those audiences that might have questions about that, whether that's your consumer, your peers, the regulator, investors - credibility is what will win.
