Policy and Standard Setting

What do we do?

Through participation in standards-setting and policymaking activities relevant to our core areas of work, the Investor Alliance seeks to mobilize investors to support and advocate for enabling environments for businesses and investors to respect human rights. 

How do we do it?

The Investor Alliance advocates for a smart mix of voluntary and mandatory measures (both at the national and international levels) to enable corporate and investor human rights responsibilities and accountability. This includes a number of advocacy initiatives that we coordinate in support of legislative and regulatory measures. We participate in multi-stakeholder standard-setting initiatives to promote greater corporate and investor disclosures and transparency. Like all of our activities, we coordinate with key civil society allies and other strategic partners to target governments, international or regional organizations, multilateral organizations, and industry associations.
