In Episode 2 of our Human Rights in AI series, Lea Esterhuizen and Peter Suasso (Bluespar) unpack the three supply chains behind AI and data centres: building materials, infrastructure and equipment, and utilities. They explore why each carries its own human rights risks, and why prioritisation is essential.
This conversation goes deep into risk assessment, risk prediction, and scalable due diligence. Lea and Pete discuss how tools like RAPT help teams compare suppliers and products, identify where deeper investigation is needed, and support smarter procurement decisions.
They also explore how worker engagement tools keep a finger on the pulse between audits, and how companies can build mature, cost-effective due diligence systems that create real visibility where it matters most.
A practical, grounded episode for teams navigating human rights risk in fast-growing AI supply chains.
