About the organization   

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre works with diverse allies and partners to put human rights at the core of companies’ business models and end abuse; to support communities and workers in securing their rights and accountability for corporate abuse; and to encourage governments to create the right regulation and incentives to uphold human rights in business. We are a global organization rooted in five continental regions, comprised of a Global Team of 80. Global Team members work with a rich network of human rights advocates in ten languages, and place strong emphasis on our alliances with grassroots organisations facing often profound inequalities of power in protecting their rights.

Our work covers the full range of human rights in business, with particular focus on four priority programmes: just energy transition and natural resources; accountable digital technologies; civic freedoms and human rights defenders; and workers’ rights in global supply chains.
