Audit & assessments

We don't do cookie-cutter assessments. Every organisation is different, and your HRIA should reflect your specific context, risks, and the people most affected by your operations. We start by listening: what keeps you up at night? Where are your operations most vulnerable? Who are the people most affected by your business? We work with you to define a scope that's both meaningful and manageable. We go where the impacts are. Desktop reviews only tell part of the story. Our team conducts site visits, speaks with workers and communities, and engages directly with the people whose rights are at stake; because you can't understand human rights impacts from behind a desk. We ask the uncomfortable questions: are migrant workers being charged recruitment fees? Do communities have genuine input into decisions that affect them? Can workers raise concerns without fear of retaliation? We deliver clarity, not just compliance. Our reports don't gather dust. We provide clear findings and practical recommendations you can actually act on: action plans, not academic exercises. Implementation is where the real work happens. We offer ongoing guidance and support to help you turn recommendations into lasting change.

Your workforce: working conditions and health and safety, freedom of association and fair wages, discrimination, forced labour and modern slavery risks, and child labour protections. Your communities: land rights and resettlement, indigenous peoples' rights, access to resources, and cultural heritage and environmental health. Your security arrangements: use of force, conflict contexts, and human rights defender protection. Your supply chain: supplier practices, contractor arrangements, and downstream impacts. We also pay particular attention to vulnerable groups at heightened risk: women, children, migrant workers, indigenous peoples, and people with disabilities.

A comprehensive assessment grounded in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Honest findings: where you're doing well and where you need to improve, without sugar-coating or unnecessary alarm. Prioritised recommendations that address root causes, not just symptoms. Stakeholder credibility through rigorous, participatory methodology that gives voice to affected people. A clear roadmap for integrating human rights considerations into your existing systems and decision-making.

Whether you're a multinational navigating complex supply chains or a business entering a high-risk market for the first time, we tailor our approach to your context and scale.
