As a result, no meaningful assessment can be made for this risk theme. We are currently working on adding contextual information to the dashboard.\n\u003C\u002Fp>  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cdiv id=\"Q12\">  \u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>How should I interpret the risk scores?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>\nA risk score indicates the likelihood of a risk for a specific commodity in a particular region. The \u003Cstrong>human rights risk scores\u003C\u002Fstrong> are benchmarked to a single score between 0 and 5, where 0 indicates no risk at all, 1 indicates a very low risk, and 5 indicates a very high risk. The human rights risk scores can be compared across different commodity sectors and various regions within a country. It is important to note that risk scores on the lower end of the scale, for example a risk score of 2, still require further assessment.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThe \u003Cstrong>environmental risk scores\u003C\u002Fstrong> also range from 0, indicating no risk, to 5, indicating very high risk. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used for four risk themes: acidification, climate change, ecotoxicity and eutrophication. For these themes, scores can be used to compare different countries within the same commodity sector. They should not be used to compare different commodity sectors.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nSpatial analysis is used for three risk themes: biodiversity loss, deforestation and water stress. For these themes, risk scores can be compared across commodities, regions and countries.\n\u003C\u002Fp>  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cdiv id=\"Q13\">  \u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What are the next steps I can take based on these risk scores?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>\nOrganisations can use the risk scores directly as input for a prioritisation of risks for the second level of risk analysis: a company-specific in-depth risk and impact assessment. Following the \u003Cstrong>OECD guidelines\u003C\u002Fstrong>, the user is expected to \u003Cstrong>combine these risk scores\u003C\u002Fstrong> with an enterprise-specific risk assessment as a basis for prioritisation. This involves high-level scoping of a company’s areas of operation and type of business relationships. \n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThe user combines these two assessments to prioritise human rights risks and specific operations, suppliers, or business operations as input for a company-specific risk assessment. Countries, regions, and\u002For commodity sectors with higher levels of risk and prioritised operations, suppliers, or business relationships could be the first ones to be tackled by a companies’ measures aimed at e.g. the prevention or remediation of (potential) adverse impacts.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nBased on the risk scores, companies take steps in areas such as:\u003C\u002Fp>\n \n\u003Cul style=\"list-style-type: square\">\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cstrong>Strategy and policy development\u003C\u002Fstrong>: Gaining clarity on the major risks within the company's chain of activities to prioritise risks and impact areas, engage internal stakeholders, and develop policies to manage these risks.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cstrong>Being compliant with CSDDD\u003C\u002Fstrong>: Comprehending the steps required for compliance, including the obligation of risk identification, and conducting thorough investigations into major risks to formulate action plans for their mitigation.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cstrong>Determining the right KPIs\u003C\u002Fstrong> when developing an improvement programme, and monitoring, benchmarking, and communicating results.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cstrong>R&D development\u003C\u002Fstrong>: Learning from other areas where certain risks are lower or decreasing, including benchmarking.\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cdiv id=\"Q14\">  \u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The CSDDD doesn’t apply to me, why should I still care?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>While other EU supply chain legislation might still be relevant from a legal compliance perspective, many companies and countries have committed themselves to adhere to the principles of the OECD Guidelines and UNGPs.

All these pieces of legislation require companies to take concrete steps, although their exact requirements differ, to systematically identify, assess and address human rights or environmental risks in their operations and supply chains, and prove that they have done so through documented, risk-based due diligence processes. \n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThe adopted Omnibus package (2025), meant to simplify and reduce the regulatory burden, has revised some of the thresholds, timing and scope of EU supply chain legislation, delaying the implementation of various pieces of legislation and decreasing their scope and requirements. \n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThe OECD Guidelines and UNGPs play a central role as a reference framework for many of the EU’s due diligence laws. As such, they provide a useful starting point for establishing a harmonised framework for broader due diligence compliance.\n\u003C\u002Fp>  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cdiv id=\"Q16\">  \u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What does the CSDDD imply for my organisation?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>\nThe EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD, Directive 2024\u002F1760) requires large companies to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for adverse human rights and environmental impacts in their own operations, their subsidiaries and their chain of activities. Companies in scope must set up a due diligence process, take appropriate measures on the risks they find, track whether those measures work, and report publicly on what they do.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThe directive entered into force on 25 July 2024 and was substantially amended by the EU's Omnibus I reforms, which entered into force on 18 March 2026. Omnibus I narrowed the scope considerably: the obligations now apply to a much smaller group of very large companies, phased in by size. Member States must adopt and publish national transposition measures by 26 July 2028, and the first measures apply from 26 July 2029.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nWhether your organisation falls within scope depends on the thresholds in the amended directive. Many companies that are not directly in scope might still receive due diligence requests from customers who are.\n\u003C\u002Fp>  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cdiv id=\"Q17\">  \u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>How do the risk scores help my organisation to be compliant with the EU CSDDD legislation?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>The EU CSDDD requires companies to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for how actual and potential adverse impacts are addressed. The directive allows for the prioritisation of topics to be addressed. The risk scores can be used for this step.
