Business and Human Rights Accelerator

Business and Human Rights Accelerator is a programme designed to help businesses identify risks and adopt a systematic approach to human rights compliance, aligning their operations with international standards.

Business and Human Rights Accelerator participants gain a clear understanding of their place in the human rights protection process, be able to determine priority directions, implement mechanisms for responding to complaints and measures for compensation, and also become part of a valuable network of like-minded individuals, partners, and experts.

Why is it important?

Human capital is at the core of any business, as business works for people and thanks to people. Respect for human rights is the foundation of business resilience in the most critical times. Adherence to these principles enhances the company’s reputation, helps attract and retain the best employees, and builds customer trust.

What Does this Project Aim to Achieve?

The main objective of the project is to increase business awareness about human rights responsibility and to train enterprises to implement effective human rights practices in their operations.
