The disclosure concerns an organization’s due diligence with respect to any adverse impacts its activities have had on the human rights of workers to form or join trade unions and to bargain collectively. This can include policies and processes with respect to the organization's business relationships, including its suppliers. It can also include the due diligence process to identify operations and suppliers where these rights are at risk.
It also aims to reveal actions that have been taken to support these rights across an organization’s range of operations. This disclosure does not require the organization to express a specific opinion on the quality of national legal systems.
Collective agreements can be at the level of the organization; at the industry level, in countries where that is the practice; or at both. Collective agreements can cover specific groups of workers; for example, those performing a specific activity or working at a specific location.
An organization is expected to respect the rights of workers to exercise freedom of association and
collective bargaining. It is also expected to not benefit from or contribute to such violations through its business relationships (e.g., suppliers).
