We have pioneered customized solutions that address corporate human rights violations, combining commercial pragmatism with respect for fundamental rights.
We have been assisting companies in integrating respect for human rights into their business for over ten years, aligning their strategies with international guidelines (such as International Human Rights Treaties and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights), as well as sparse internal regulations that promote fundamental rights.
Our multidisciplinary group – part of the social pillar of our ESG efforts – assesses potential human rights-related risks and develops solutions for prevention, mitigation, and potential reparation. These solutions contemplate companies’ interactions with stakeholders such as employees, competitors, consumers, suppliers and value chains, investors, and local and traditional communities.
We tailor customized models for different sectors, including the mining, food and beverage, technology, textiles, retail, and real estate sectors, as well as financial markets. Moreover, we assist with crisis management, helping companies to make prompt and assertive decisions in response to critical situations that could affect their reputation.
