We assist businesses in developing and strengthening their Human Rights Policy as a critical step toward embedding respect for human rights within corporate governance. A well-defined human rights policy is the cornerstone of responsible business practices, aligning with international standards and ensuring compliance with global human rights expectations.

Why Human Rights Policy Matters

A Human Rights Policy serves as a company’s formal commitment to uphold human rights principles in its operations and business relationships. According to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), Principle 16, businesses must establish a policy commitment to respecting human rights, ensuring accountability, and fostering a culture of due diligence.

Our Approach

To build a strong human rights policy, we conduct a comprehensive review of your company’s existing policies and governance frameworks. This process includes benchmarking against key international human rights instruments, such as:

• United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)

• International Bill of Human Rights

• International Labour Organization (ILO) Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

• Universal Declaration of Human Rights

• International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)

• International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)

Through this review, we identify gaps and areas for improvement, ensuring that your policy reflects best practices and is aligned with global human rights standards.
