What is the HRCA SA?
The Human Rights Compliance Assessment South Africa (HRCA SA) comprises 38 questions and +- 300 indicators. The check has been developed jointly by the Human Rights and Business South Africa Project. The questions are based on the South Africa Country Risk Assessment and questions deducted from the HRCA Quick Check and the entire HRCA database. In addition, a number of new questions were developed that are specific for South Africa.
