Abstract

Due diligence regulations have important implications for developing countries as they are on the frontline for the implementation of due diligence requirements. Furthermore, developing countries are relatively distanced from the discourse around due diligence, which is more prevalent in developed countries. This chapter assesses potential adverse impacts of due diligence for developing countries
and the interactions with VSS.
