Practical Skills Your Teams Can Use the Next Day
This is business and human rights training built for decisions, not slideware. Participants leave able to spot risk, ask the right questions and act.
The Business Case
Human Rights Is Now Core Business, Not a Side Topic
Human rights sits at the heart of the Social dimension of ESG. In India, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates the top 1000 listed companies, by market capitalisation, to report under the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) from FY 2022-23, and human rights is a dedicated principle within it.
From Disclosure to Performance
Investors, buyers and regulators now look past the policy statement to what a company actually does. Human rights has become a reputational, operational, legal, supply-chain and investor risk at the same time. Training is how you close the gap between what you report and what you practise. For the assessment side, see our business and human rights advisory.
A Global Standard You Can Rely On
The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights are the global standard for preventing and addressing business-related human rights harm. They were unanimously endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council on 16 June 2011 and set out three pillars: Protect, Respect and Remedy. This course grounds your people in that framework and in the ILO core conventions beneath it. For a practical primer, read our human rights due diligence guide.
