Remedying Human Rights Abuses in Supply Chains: The Role of Sustainability Standards | Report

Remediation is a fundamental principle of international human rights. In 2022 and 2023, ISEAL ran a dialogue series with ISEAL members, supported by the UN OHCHR Accountability and Remedy Project, to build awareness on key remediation concepts and activities, take stock of existing efforts on remediation, identify cross-cutting challenges, and inspire further action on remediation. ISEAL’s Members Dialogue series confirmed that voluntary sustainability standards and systems play a crucial role in remediation, both in terms of improving access to remedy and enabling remedy outcomes for individuals and communities who are negatively affected by business activities. ISEAL’s report documents the insights and learnings gathered from this dialogue series.
