Advancing HRDD Capacity and Strategic Roadmapping

Stronger institutional capability, a common vision, and strategic direction are all necessary for developing more effective mechanisms for Responsible Business Conduct, in addition to compliance. A three-day Staff Capacity Building Workshop on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and Strategic Roadmap Development was held in Manikganj from May 4-6, 2026, by the Bangladesh Labour Foundation (BLF) with assistance from Mondiaal FNV.

In order to improve awareness of HRDD, responsible supply chains, workers’ rights, and long-term organizational strategy, participants from the Bangladesh Labour Foundation (BLF), Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies (BILS), and Awaj Foundation attended the session.

Strengthening Capacity for Responsible Business Conduct

Building technical expertise and strategic alignment to improve institutional preparedness in tackling new global standards for business and human rights was the main goal of the workshop. Participants investigated workable strategies for incorporating HRDD into organizational structures while coordinating priorities with fair transition principles and workers’ rights.

• Deepening understanding of HRDD frameworks and evolving global regulations.
• Identifying supply chain risks and mapping key stakeholders.
• Aligning organizational strategies with workers’ rights and just transition priorities.
• Strengthening accountability through remedy mechanisms and prevention strategies.
• Reflecting on Bangladesh’s labour context, including climate vulnerability and informal work dynamics.
