Human Rights

Human rights 

Respecting human rights is essential for ensuring fair and ethical treatment of workers, communities, and suppliers. It also helps businesses mitigate legal and reputational risks, as violations can lead to lawsuits, regulatory penalties, and loss of consumer trust. Upholding human rights enhances supply chain resilience and can attract socially conscious investors, strengthening long-term business success.  
In order to ensure respect for human rights, businesses should conduct robust human rights due diligence. At 2Impact, we support companies at various stages of this process.  
Our services include:

Gap assessment 

Understanding where your company stands on human rights due diligence is the first step towards improvement. At 2Impact, we conduct gap assessments to evaluate your company’s current policies and practices against international best practice and regulatory requirements. Our analysis provides a clear overview of strengths and areas for improvement, helping you to strengthen your company’s human rights approach and meet expectations from regulators, investors, and other stakeholders. 

Human rights training and capacity development 

2Impact can help equip your company’s management as well as the wider organisation with the right knowledge and skills to conduct human rights due diligence. We provide tailored training sessions on identifying, preventing, and addressing human rights impacts through interactive workshops.  

Human rights policies and governance  

A strong human rights policy is the foundation for responsible business and sets clear expectations for employees, suppliers, and other business partners. We can help you develop policies that align with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines. We can also help you ensure that your policies are embedded into your company’s governance and overall management and business structures. 

Identifying and assessing impacts 

Understanding and addressing salient human rights issues in your value chain is crucial for managing risks, ensuring compliance, and upholding ethical business practices. At 2Impact we help companies map their supply chains to gain visibility into suppliers, sourcing regions, and potential human rights risks. We conduct in-depth assessments to identify key human rights impacts and can conduct saliency assessments to prioritize identified risks.
