STUDY LABOUR AND SOCIAL JUSTICE TRANSNATIONAL LEGAL TACTICS FOR LABOUR How to make use of Corporate Accountability Mechanisms Michael Bader& Miriam Saage-Maaß October 2021 The endorsement of the UNGPs in 2011 and the ini­tiatives following the industri­al disasters across South Asia in 2012 and 2013 created a shift from voluntary forms of corporate social responsibility towards binding corporate human rights standards. The new mandatory human rights due diligence(mHRDD) laws in Europe are an oppor­tunity to make the voices of workers from productions countries better heard and more relevant in decision at the European corporate head­quarters. mHRDD laws must be gradu­ally expanded. Beyond funda­mental rights, structurally redistributive rights, such as the right to freedom of associ­ation and to social security, have to be advanced in the debates.
