Meaningful stakeholder engagement (MSE) is a critical component of human rights due diligence (HRDD). It involves genuine two-way dialogue with stakeholders on key human rights issues, ensuring that discussions lead to meaningful action.
The concept of MSE has gained momentum, particularly with its inclusion in the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which emphasises the need for stakeholder input in human rights due diligence.
