Due Diligence Fund (DDF)
The Due Diligence Fund supports pilot projects that contribute to improving the implementation of effective due diligence processes to mitigate human rights and environmental risks. A strong focus among the 13 funded projects to date has been on traceability and sustainability data, as well as on building the capacities of producers to reduce risks and facilitate compliance—particularly with requirements passed down to producers by buyers.
