Human rights due diligence. Save the Children supported the adhering banks in implementing their human rights due diligence process. It did so especially in the Working Group Value Chains. The Value Chain analysis on Xxxxx was followed up by three meetings with three Banks about their due diligence process and implementation as regards the cocoa sector. In Save the Children’s view, the discussion remained quite general because of the issue of client confidentiality. For the same reason the NGO's were not able to notice an improvement in time in the implementation process. Although banks stated that they were taking the outcomes of the DBA discussions into account, they were not prepared to provide more information, despite the NGO's having signed the DBA confidentiality protocol.
