Helping our members collaborate to advance human rights
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world.
We give our member companies the tools they need to respect the rights of people in their global supply chains. That means getting to the root causes of why human rights issues happen in the first place. And treating their workers and farmers fairly and with respect so that their families and communities can thrive.
Why responsible sourcing matters
As businesses become increasingly aware of their social and environmental impact, responsible sourcing is becoming even more important.
Advancing the rights of all people within business operations is fundamental not just for moral and ethical reasons but also for commercial success.
Give individual and collective power back to workers and farmers, and support local communities.
Stay inside of the law: in the last decade, human rights legislation has increased exponentially.
Align with UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are becoming part of policy frameworks around the world.
Create sustainable businesses and supply chains that protect people and planet.
Meet growing investor expectations for businesses to have a positive impact on people in their supply chains.
Become a resilient, efficient and innovative business that values the people who make it happen.
