Here's everything that's inside:
Mistake #1: Failure to implement a systematic heightened Human Rights Due Diligence (hHRDD) process and why this exposes your business to legal liabilities, financial loses, and reputational damage.Mistake #2: Neglecting conflict analysis and on-the-ground stakeholder engagement and why skipping over these activities leads to community resistance, operational disruptions, investor backlash, and even civil war.Mistake #3: Inadequate oversight of high-risk value chain relationships and why this increases the risk of regulatory penalties, human rights abuses, reputational crises, and investor divestment.Mistake #4: Weak corporate governance for CAHRA risk management and why this can lead to record-breaking fines, executive legal exposure, and systemic organizational failures.Mistake #5: Assuming third parties don’t pose strategic risk to your brand and why this can stall billion-dollar projects, trigger public calls for ESG divestment, and expose you to legal and reputational blowback from harm you didn’t directly commit.
