Towards a future where everyone’s basic human rights are respected

Human rights in the business context are crucial for tomorrow’s business and for the transition to a sustainable economy.

Understanding and addressing human rights

  • Do you need to know all your risks, including in the supply chain?
  • How can you show that your company respects human rights, even under current and upcoming EU legislation?
  • What do you do if your company is accused of negative impact in the media?
  • Or maybe your company is ready for the next step in human rights due diligence?

Human Rights@Work is highly experienced in answering such questions, as one of the first specialised human rights consultancies in the Netherlands.

We help you comply with your legal obligations, be it the EU deforestation legislation, the UNGP alignment under the EU Taxonomy, the CSRD or the future CSDDD and forced labour regulation. Together with our network, we provide tailored human rights risk management tools and services to leading European companies.

How can your company prepare for the EU Forced Labour Regulation? Download the 3-pager.

The upcoming EU Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR) will have major implications for internationally operating companies. It introduces an import ban on products linked to forced labour – anywhere in the supply chain, worldwide.

This free 3-pager offers clear and practical insights:

  • What the EUFLR entails and why it requires action now;
  • How to start preparing through risk-based due diligence;
  • What to do if you suspect forced labour in your supply chain.

This 3-pager is based on years of experience with human rights in real business and supply chain contexts. It’s not a legal summary, but a practical, action-oriented document to help you move forward.
