Project Overview

From Policy to Practice: Assessing the Impact of EU Laws on Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence in the Informal Economy of the Global South Research

How does the legal status of informal economies in the Global South affect the implementation and effectiveness of mHREDD laws?
To what extent do existing EU mHREDD laws account for structural legal and economic asymmetries within global value chains (GVCs), particularly concerning rights-holders in the informal economy?
What legal approaches could enhance the inclusion of informal economy actors in transnational due diligence frameworks, and how might such approaches align with or challenge existing EU regulatory models?
