Abstract
« Due diligence » first appeared in the field of labour law and then took center stage in the international debate on the direct responsibility of companies in terms of respect for human rights. This strange notion poses the challenge of establishing its meaning and scope, because various normative and jurisprudential instruments refer to it without defining it precisely. This lack of definition contrasts with the potential impact of due diligence on our discipline, if it were to become the measure of employer obligations in the employment relationship. We will try here to give it a coherent meaning by identifying its main characteristics and taking as a starting point these scattered legal texts. We also wonder whether labour law will be able to assimilate the concept or if it will give rise to profound modifications.
