Devoir de Vigilance 

The French Devoir de Vigilance law is unique in that it requires subject companies to excercise supply chain due diligence with respect to people and planet. This report assesses 134 companies, who identified as being subject to the law, against legal compliance, UNGP performance, and transparency. There is something for everyone in this study: For companies, how did you square off against the actual legal requirements and UNGPs? For civil society, what makes this law special, and how is it being implemented? For policy-makers, is the legislative intent being met? For lawyers, what is the legal theory with which one could defend or attack any given subject company?
