Case study: supplier engagment

December 2025

Supplier dialogue is one of the most important channels through which public buyers can support effective HREDD in their supply chains. When designed and implemented effectively, it facilitates open, evidence-based dialogue that supports effective risk mitigation and, when harms occur, access to remedy.

This case study illustrates how participants in the Electronics Watch Low Emission Vehicles Programme have used supplier dialogue to advance product traceability, which enables better compliance monitoring in the supply chain, and foster the transparency necessary to remediate identified human rights harms.
