Tool and Training
The tools and training presented in this section were developed to support the identification, management, and mitigation of human rights risks, fostering more responsible and transparent practices among all actors involved in the sugarcane supply chain.
The tools — including the root cause analysis guide, stakeholder consultation guide, and the action plan and risk matrix templates — provide technical support for decision-making and the development of effective actions to address human rights risks.
The training modules, organized according to the stages of due diligence (policy; identify; act and integrate; monitor; communicate; and remediate), equip mill professionals, suppliers, and service providers to apply these principles in an integrated manner across their operations, strengthening a culture of respect for human rights within the sector.

Tools
Stakeholder Engagement Guide
This guide was developed to support the implementing organization’s teams during the second stage of our risk assessment process. It focuses specifically on the sugar-energy sector, covering national, regional, and local levels.
Salience Matrix of Identified Human Rights Risks
The matrix should be applied to the human rights risks previously identified, taking into account the scope, irremediability, and severity of each risk.
Root Cause Analysis
Provide guidance to readers on conducting a root cause analysis using the “5 Whys” methodology as part of the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence.
Action plan model
The actions to be taken are organised in a time-bound implementation plan. At a minimum, the plan must cover which actions will be executed, who is responsible for implementing them, and when they will be executed.

Training
Human Rights Due Diligence
This course was developed based on the Practical Guide for Human Rights Due Diligence in the Sugar-Energy Sector, created by Proforest and Imaflora in partnership with Bonsucro, Barry Callebaut, General Mills, Hershey, Nestlé, and ASR Group.
The objective is to introduce the concept and stages of due diligence for sugarcane mills, providing a practical and straightforward overview of the Guide to facilitate understanding of its content and the approach proposed in the material.
