This First Mile Toolkit provides comprehensive guidance on human rights due diligence (HRDD) specifically targeted for first mile operations in agricultural supply chains.
Companies that use the Farm Labor Due Diligence Toolkit to guide their own due diligence actions can use this Toolkit to align suppliers’ practices to their own and help suppliers meet HRDD requirements.
The First Mile Toolkit provides tailored guidance that is relevant for first mile contexts and is aligned with the due diligence framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct. The Toolkit is available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Toolkit components include:

- Capability building in the first mile
- Collaboration for prevention and mitigation
