Social Impact & Human Rights

Social Impact and Human Rights Services

Empower your organisation to realise the business value of social performance by leveraging our Social Impact and Human Rights Services.  From human rights due diligence and social impact assessment to ethical trade and just transition, our services empower organisations to thrive while contributing to a world where ethical values and social responsibility take centre stage.

Our recommendations align with the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, ILO Fundamental Conventions, OECD Due Diligence Guidance and Guidelines, the World Benchmarking Alliance’s Social Transformation Framework, and Just Transition Initiative.

Just Transition

We support organizations to integrate a just transition in their decarbonization journey. We do this by helping to prioritize stakeholders that are most affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy, create decent work opportunities, identify opportunities for public-private collaboration and leaves no one behind.

We can help integrate a just transition into our clients’ sustainability commitments, policies and practices, bridging the various agendas that exist at the nexus of environmental sustainability and social justice and impact.

Strategy Development and Advisory

Develop proactive strategies to address salient risks and promote positive impact with key stakeholders, including communities, workers, suppliers, and consumers in geographies where they operate.

Social Impact Assessment and Measurement

Human Rights Due Diligence
