What is Due Diligence?

Due Diligence is a comprehensive, critical investigation or audit of a potential investment, product, business, or partnership. It involves examining financial records, business operations, legal obligations, and other critical details to assess risks and opportunities.

In the realm of supply chain traceability, due diligence is the process companies undertake to ensure their suppliers and partners comply with legal, environmental, and ethical standards. This includes verifying the origins of materials, ensuring labour practices are fair, and assessing environmental impact. Due diligence helps companies manage risks, protect their reputation, and ensure responsible sourcing and compliance with regulatory requirements.
