DDRT 2.0 (Forced Labor Due Diligence Reporting Template) is the Automotive Industry Action Group’s updated, standardized reporting template designed to help companies meet rapidly evolving global requirements around forced labor compliance, such as UFLPA. The template provides a structured, repeatable way for suppliers to disclose sourcing practices, labor policies, material provenance, sub-tier relationships, and any exposure to high-risk regions or entities. DDRT 2.0 expands on earlier versions with more granular traceability requirements, clearer scoring guidance, and enhanced alignment with regulatory expectations.
As automakers and suppliers face increasing pressure to demonstrate end-to-end supply chain transparency, DDRT 2.0 has become a core component of compliance programs—particularly because enforcement agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection are now requiring documentation that goes well beyond Tier 1. The template helps organizations establish a common language and structure for supplier reporting, reducing inconsistencies and eliminating the need for multiple, duplicative questionnaires across OEMs. However, while DDRT 2.0 provides the framework, the heavy lift still falls on companies to distribute assessments at scale, track supplier responses, validate accuracy, manage follow-ups, and integrate findings into their risk-management workflows.
This is where Resilinc adds significant value. The platform combines supplier-validated mapping, human-in-the-loop engagement, and AI-driven automation to deliver an integrated process from risk detection through report submission.
The solution begins with supplier validation, where human experts and Resilinc’s Intelligent Supplier Network ensure that sub-tier data is accurate and complete. Next, autonomous mapping automatically identifies hidden suppliers and harmonizes records across business units. Resilinc’s UFLPA Agent continuously scans millions of data sources to detect exposure to high-risk regions, materials, or entities, automatically flagging suppliers for further review.
Once data is validated, the platform’s AI engine generates OEM-specific DDRT reports, customized for each manufacturer’s format and submission requirements. The process culminates in continuous monitoring—alerting teams to changes in supplier status, new regulatory risks, or emerging compliance gaps. In one unified platform, suppliers can prepare, submit, and maintain DDRT compliance at scale.
In short, while DDRT 2.0 establishes the standard, Resilinc provides the system, automation, and intelligence needed to make forced labor due diligence scalable, auditable, and truly actionable.
