Program Overview: What is Modern Slavery and Human Rights Due Diligence (UK MSA, CSDDD)?
Modern Slavery & Human Rights Due Diligence (UK MSA, CSDDD) is Edstellar's instructor-led compliance program for legal, procurement, and sustainability teams managing supply-chain human-rights obligations. Participants work through the UK Modern Slavery Act, the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, supply-chain mapping, and audit readiness. It builds the working knowledge teams need to run defensible due diligence across complex supplier networks.
Training is workshop-driven from the first module. Participants map supply chains and assess risk in guided labs, then draft Modern Slavery Act statements and CSDDD-aligned due diligence workflows against realistic supplier scenarios. Instructors coach your team through remediation planning, worker-voice mechanisms, and the reporting that stands up to scrutiny, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone: an end-to-end due diligence program build.
Companies without working due diligence face enforcement, investor questions, and public findings they cannot explain away. This program teaches your people to identify risk, evidence the steps taken, and remediate credibly, under both UK and EU regimes. Every obligation is practiced against realistic cases, so the learning transfers straight to your compliance function.
The capstone is an end-to-end due diligence program your team builds for a realistic enterprise: risk assessment, supplier engagement, remediation playbook, and the statement and reporting package that proves it. What returns to the business is a team that treats human-rights due diligence as operations, not as a signature on a statement.
Delivered by instructors with compliance and supply chain risk experience, the program mixes regulatory grounding with hands-on labs: risk heat-maps, MSA statement drafts, CSDDD applicability matrices, supplier questionnaires and a full audit evidence pack. The capstone asks each cohort to build and defend a complete due diligence program for a realistic enterprise case, so learning transfers directly into your day-to-day work.

Connect Human Rights Due Diligence With Supplier Evidence and Remediation Planning
Edstellar develops due diligence capability through the supplier-risk and reporting topics covered in the curriculum. Participants examine risk indicators, map legal applicability, and prepare statements and evidence packs. The final program is reviewed for transparent prioritization, worker-voice considerations, and a traceable connection between identified concerns and proposed corrective actions.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore supplier oversight and reporting responsibilities to identify gaps in risk mapping, applicability analysis, statement preparation, and the evidence needed to support remediation decisions.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish human rights risk foundations before UK MSA and CSDDD case analysis, then develop supplier assessment and evidence review ahead of the due diligence program.
- Step 03
Align
We align human rights due diligence and supply-chain compliance expertise with procurement, legal, risk, and sustainability roles, tailoring case depth to their supplier responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional supplier portfolios, group structures, and case evidence reflect relevant sourcing contexts, enabling tailored risk-scoring and statement exercises without exposing workers or confidential allegations.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build risk heat maps, document applicability assumptions, draft statements, and assemble evidence packs, receiving feedback on scoring rationale, worker voice, and corrective-action traceability.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the due diligence program and statement pack for supported risk priorities, clear applicability assumptions, documented remediation, and reporting claims that follow from the evidence.
