DueDiligence

CSR Risk management and its integration in business operations:

  • In what way can you integrate CSR risk management – also known as due diligence – effectively in internal business operations?
  • How do you involve relevant departments within your business and how do you ensure CSR risk management is connected well to other internal procedures?
  • What role do external stakeholders have in this process?

CSR risk management is not only about the risks related to a company’s own operations but also looks at a company’s international value chain. Embedding CSR risk management procedures well within internal business operations ensures more effective CSR policy.  CSR risk management (also called due diligence) is a fundamental element of the OECD Guidelines.

Two different ways of working on effective integration of CSR risk management in internal business operations will be highlighted this morning:

  • the Business Social Compliance Initiative
  • the NPR Due Diligence (a practical guideline for integrating due diligence in existing risk management systems)
  • both of these will be supported by business examples
