In an Innovations Fund supported project from September 2023-November 2024, sought to support companies to assess and address human rights risks and impacts in the botanicals sector, and jumpstart scheme-level improvements. Through a gap assessment, UEBT identified points for improvement in their existing frameworks. Training materials developed were used to build internal capacity, and within companies in Turkey’s high-risk supply chains. Field tests helped refine these tools for wider use, and focus groups and a tip-sheet enabled learnings to be shared with ISEAL community members.

Two project outputs are available to download below:

• A Tip Sheet which aims to identify initial steps for smaller standard systems to begin the process of defining and fulfilling their role and responsibilities on human rights due diligence (HRDD), building on UEBT's experience.
• A document that outlines UEBT's role in the remediation space as of January 2025.
