Human Rights Consulting
Business and Human Rights

Respect for human rights and economic success do not have to be contradicting concepts.

Companies play a crucial role in fostering and realizing human rights.

Respect for human rights and economic success do not have to be contradicting concepts. On the contrary: companies play a crucial role in fostering and realizing human rights. On the other hand, the respect for human rights is essential for a company’s sustainable success, reputation and competitiveness.

As an independent human rights consultant, I advise companies and organizations in the implementation of human rights. With human rights expertise and a systemic approach, I support you in identifying possible adverse impacts of your business on global human rights standards, developing concepts on the respect for human rights and implementing those sustainably into your organization.

What I can do for you

A Human Rights Due Diligence process, like recommended by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and required in non-financial reporting, involves identifying a company's impact on human rights, the integration of the results as well as the development of respective concepts, the evaluation of those concepts and the communication of the process and its outcomes. 

I support your company in implementing the individual steps of a Human Rights Due Diligence process.
