Many companies – particularly SMEs – struggle to meet their due diligence obligations because of the complexity of existing reporting systems.
DiliCHANCE, an international project funded by the European Commission, supports businesses in addressing these challenges by offering clear, practical and accessible guidance on responsible sourcing. The project brings together experienced partners from business, science and civil society to help companies build robust due diligence processes aligned with evolving regulatory and market expectations.
A key feature of the initiative is its digital one-stop shop, available directly on the DiliCHANCE website. It brings together regulations, standards, digital tools, learning materials and expert content in a structured and easy-to-navigate format. EIT RawMaterials leads the development of this component and contributes to the strategic direction of the project.
