Why do companies need to assess human rights risks in various countries?
Human rights risks in the business context are very much dependent on the overall human rights situation of a given country – it’s not simply a question of the sector or specific business activity. Some governments are not willing or able to effectively protect the rights of their citizens, which increases the risk of abuse for people living and working in these countries. In order to effectively manage human rights risks, it’s essential to be aware of these country-specific risks.
How can the the Löning Country Risk Register help you conduct human rights due diligence?
The human rights risk analysis is at the heart of human rights due diligence. By providing country-specific information on various human rights risk topics, the Löning Country Risk Register can serve as an essential part of every human rights risk analysis, whether for a company’s supply chain or their own operations. By providing information not only about the overall country risk, but also about specific human rights topics, such as child labour or freedom of association, the CRR can serve as a sound source for identifying risks related to the countries where your suppliers or your various company sites are located.
How can the Löning Country Risk Register help you implement the Supply Chain Act (LkSG)?
The BAFA implementation guidelines on risk analysis recommend considering risks not only by sector, but especially by country, too. The Löning Country Risk Register helps you to achieve a country risk perspective.
What does it mean if a country is not covered in the Löning Country Risk Register?
If a country is not covered in the Löning Country Risk Register, it means that there is not enough data available to provide a sound risk rating for this country. The lack of information comes with the need for heightened human rights due diligence if you are to operate in or source from this country.
