From Risk to Remedy: Using technology to power credible action
Diginex

An introduction to Diginex's Risk-to-Remedy methodology: how organisations can systematically identify human rights and supply chain risks, verify them through evidence, and build effective remediation systems that drive accountability, prevention and continuous improvement.
In this final session, Archana Kotecha, Diginex's Chief Impact Officer, along with Emily Day, Diginex's Global Sustainability Specialist, explore how organisations can move beyond risk identification and build effective systems for response, remediation and prevention.
Drawing on practical examples from global supply chains, the session will examine how businesses can verify risks through multiple sources of evidence, prioritise response efforts, and design remediation processes that address harm while strengthening long-term resilience. The discussion will also explore the role of worker voice, grievance mechanisms, investigations, stakeholder engagement and supplier relationships in creating effective due diligence systems.
Introducing Diginex's Risk-to-Remedy methodology, the session will demonstrate how organisations can connect risk identification, evidence gathering, remediation and prevention into a coherent framework for action. Participants will gain practical insights into building systems that not only satisfy evolving regulatory and investor expectations, but also strengthen accountability, improve outcomes for workers, and support continuous improvement across supply chains.
