ABOUT THIS PODCAST
In Their Words, a video project of Do the Diligence, highlights and amplifies the voices of the people doing the work to build, test, and strengthen Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) in real time. Each episode is meant to be concise, focused conversations lasting 10 minutes or less and is paired with a brief written Q&A available via Substack.

Do the Diligence is a newsletter, video series, and media platform that brings founders, builders, practitioners, advocates, and business leaders together to share how Human Rights Due Diligence works in practice.

It does not ask why human rights matter. It explores what happens when they are tested, showing how organizations respond under pressure. HRDD is treated as real-world organizational design, with incentives, systems, and governance that drive results.

For decision-makers, program leads, and implementers, this is a space for insight, stories, and strategies that turn commitments into measurable action across organizations and industries.
