Human rights due diligence helps companies avoid negative human rights impacts, and as such, manage their risks and reputation. A key component of human rights due diligence is meaningful engagement with stakeholders, particularly rights-holders such as employees, community members, supply chain workers, and consumers.

Zgodnie z Wytycznymi ONZ dot. biznesu i praw człowieka (UNGPs) należyta staranność w zakresie praw człowieka (HRDD) to proces stosowany do identyfikacji i określenia, unikania, łagodzenia i dokumentowania konsekwencji działalności przedsiębiorstw w sferze praw człowieka. Mowa tutaj zarówno o skutkach pojawiających się obecnie, jak i o potencjalnych, mogących zaistnieć w przyszłości. Jednym z najważniejszych elementów należytej staranności w zakresie praw człowieka jest realne, konstruktywne zaangażowanie we współpracę z interesariuszami, zwłaszcza z właścicielami praw, do których należą pracownicy firmy, lokalne społeczności, pracownicy zatrudnieni w łańcuchu dostaw i konsumenci.

Na proces należytej staranności w obszarze praw człowieka (HRDD) składają się cztery podstawowe elementy:  identyfikacja i ocena zaistniałych lub potencjalnych negatywnych konsekwencji dla realizacji praw człowieka, które  przedsiębiorstwo może wywoływać lub w których wywoływaniu pośrednio albo bezpośrednio uczestniczy; podejmowanie stosownych działań i wdrażanie wniosków z oceny wpływu do procesów firmy; monitorowanie skuteczności podjętych działań w celu określenia, na ile naprawdę się sprawdzają; oraz komunikacja z interesariuszami m.in. poprzez raportowanie niefinansowe, na temat sposobów radzenia sobie z negatywnymi konsekwencjami działalności firmy dla praw człowieka oraz pokazywanie im, że firma wprowadziła i wprowadza odpowiednie mechanizmy i procesy.

Należyta staranność w zakresie praw człowieka (HRDD) pomaga firmom unikać wywierania negatywnego wpływu na realizację tych praw oraz podejmować działania mające zaistniałe sytuacje naruszeń minimalizować, a co za tym idzie zarządzać ryzykiem i reputacją. Przedsiębiorstwa, które niewłaściwie zarządzają ryzykiem w tej sferze napotykają na silny sprzeciw otoczenia, co może doprowadzić do utraty inwestycji zagranicznych i/lub do zamknięcia działalności.
