Driving positive impacts through expert human rights consulting

We are a business and human rights consultancy that supports companies in continuously enhancing their human rights performance, ensuring that people are and stay at the core of business decisions and actions.

Our approach focuses on implementing robust human rights due diligence processes that enable companies to take the right path and make progressive and continuous improvements in identifying, preventing, mitigating, and remedying potential and actual human rights risks. We leverage the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) as a fundamental compass, complemented by a holistic understanding of both soft law and hard law regulatory landscapes.

We help companies transform human rights considerations from compliance obligations into real opportunities for positive and transformative impact on the ground, through meaningful stakeholder engagement and appropriate responses to adverse impacts.
