Introduction

Develop Human Rights and Environment Due Diligence Toolkit for Apparel Sector in Sri Lanka

Over the last several decades, pro-growth policies have translated into higher incomes and reduced poverty levels in many countries in Asia. However, rapid economic development has not come without significant costs and risks. Today, there is growing concern that key industries in Asia are having an unsustainable impact on the environment, with irreversible consequences for individuals, families, and societies. There is an urgent need or a stronger understanding of the interconnections between human rights, business, and the environment. In this spirit, increasing numbers of human rights experts and environmental specialists are abandoning their siloes and elevating discussions on the right to a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

In the Sri Lanka context, private sector and other actors have also become increasingly more conscious about their impact on the environment as well as how the rights of all their stakeholders can be upheld. Therefore, under the Business and Human Rights in Asia project, UNDP Sri Lanka has been building the capacity of businesses on how to carry out Human Rights and Environment Due Diligence in specific sectors
.
