Corporate Engagement
What do we do?
Acting collectively, investors can have a greater impact than when they act individually. Our coordinated corporate engagements activate a broad base of investors to increase their leverage through collective engagement to address human rights challenges and promote respect for human rights by their portfolio companies. This enables investors to both meet their own due diligence responsibilities and engage with companies to implement their responsibility to respect human rights.
How do we do it?
Our corporate engagements are undertaken in close coordination with civil society, trade unions, and community-led organizations. This ensures that our engagements are informed by the lived experience of impacted rightsholders and are coordinated with organizations that have the tools, networks, and expertise necessary to help maximize investor impact. We also work in close collaboration with benchmarking organizations that assess companies on their human rights performance.
