“UNDP selected Vimi as the provider of our Human Rights Self-Assessment Training Tool — a B2B platform that supports businesses’ understanding of human rights risks. We’re well impressed with the deliverables and the service we’ve gotten from team Vimi. Based on this, we’ve engaged them for ongoing support of this project.”

Sean Lees — Business and Human Rights Specialist, UNDP

Introduction

Human Rights Due Diligence is the process organizations use to identify, assess, and act on human rights risks connected to their operations and supply chains. The Human Rights Self-Assessment Training Tool, delivered under the guidance of the United Nations Development Programme, supports organizations in applying the HRDD process to their own operations.

Target Audiences

The primary audience is corporate participants in UNDP’s Human Rights Due Diligence training programmes. A secondary audience includes businesses outside the formal training programme who register for access to the tool directly. Participants typically include compliance, legal, sustainability, and operational managers with responsibility for human rights and ESG risk.

Unique Value Proposition

The tool provides participating organizations with a structured way to assess their exposure to human rights risks through a standardized self-assessment survey, producing a heatmap that highlights likelihood and severity across relevant risk categories. The framework is supervised by UNDP, which gives participating organizations confidence in the quality and neutrality of the source, and submissions are anonymized to encourage candid responses.

The Project — Scope of Work

UNDP selected VIMI to deliver the Human Rights Self-Assessment Training Tool and its supporting syndication website. VIMI’s scope included:

  • User experience and user interface design.
  • A marketing and syndication website built on WordPress, to allow UNDP staff to publish updates independently.
  • A custom web application that administers the assessment survey, generates a per-organization risk heatmap in PDF form, and allows UNDP administrators to add new risks, categories, and questions as the programme evolves.
  • Warranty, hosting, and ongoing maintenance for both platforms.

The Outcome

The tool gives participating organizations a structured and confidential way to assess human rights risk against a standardized framework. Anonymous data returned through the system also gives UNDP visibility into the categories of risk that businesses encounter most frequently, which informs future iterations of both the tool and the training programme. UNDP has retained VIMI for continued support and development of the platform.
