Practical pathways for stakeholder involvement in risk assessment
Feb 10, 2026 | 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM
Description
Organised by Due Diligence Design
This session will share new research on “blackout zones” in garment supply chains, practical case studies, trade union insights on meaningful engagement, and the ILO due diligence database. Together, these inputs will provide concrete guidance on where and how stakeholder engagement can best strengthen risk prioritisation for sectoral risk mapping.
Meaningful stakeholder engagement is essential to human rights due diligence under the OECD Guidelines and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector. In practice, it remains one of the biggest challenges companies face in implementing an OECD-aligned risk assessment process.
When prioritisation is incomplete or relies only on desk research, companies risk misdirecting resources to less urgent issues while overlooking the most severe harms. Risk prioritisation is also increasingly regulated under the CSRD and CSDDD."
