common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is human rights due diligence (HRDD / HREDD)?
Human rights due diligence (HRDD), and its environmental counterpart HREDD, is how organisations identify, assess, prioritise, act on, monitor and report human rights and environmental risks and impacts in their operations and supply chains. It is aligned with frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Claire Lynch Consulting guides organisations through that process from initial assessment through action planning and implementation.

What is social impact measurement?
Social impact measurement helps organisations understand, plan for, and measure how their activities affect workers and communities. We develop Theory of Change, impact measurement frameworks at output, outcome and impact levels, monitoring and evaluation, and social impact assessments using both qualitative and quantitative methods — so organisations can plan, track and improve their social performance.
What training and capacity building do you provide?
We develop and deliver programmes that build internal capacity for human rights due diligence, combining technical knowledge with practical application. That includes interactive HREDD training tailored to the business operating context and priority areas, stakeholder workshops to align teams, and ongoing implementation support and coaching so teams can apply HREDD principles in their daily work.
How can technical writing support responsible business work?
Clear documentation helps turn responsible business commitments into usable tools. Our technical writing work includes policy and framework development aligned with international standards and your business context, guidance documents, training materials, and documentation review to improve clarity, consistency and effectiveness.
Why does HRDD matter for business now — and what if resources are tight?
Organisations invest in HRDD for more than formal compliance alone — including supply chain visibility, operational resilience in a volatile environment, and meeting legal and social obligations. When you cannot assess every risk at once, risk-based prioritisation and practical approaches help focus limited resource where severity for people is greatest. We support organisations to prioritise and implement when capacity is constrained. Get in touch to discuss where to start.
