- A framework for risk-based due diligence describing the five steps that enterprises should follow to identify, assess, mitigate and account for how they address the adverse impacts of their activities;



- A description of the major risks faced by enterprises and the measures to mitigate these risks;



- Guidance for engaging with indigenous peoples.
