Businesses have real impacts on people's rights — workers, communities, suppliers along their value chains.
Understanding these impacts is the starting point for managing them.
About
With more than 20 years’ experience in the field of human rights protection, I have worked for several international organisations in more than 20 countries. I have worked on humanitarian and economic development projects, sometimes in highly complex contexts.
What do they have in common?
People’s capability to take action is fundamental in ensuring economic sustainability.
Projects succeed only when the rights of those involved are protected and respected. This is why I always adopt a human rights -based approach when I work with my clients.
Because of this, my clients are able to develop a coherent, sustainable strategy that delivers value for all their stakeholders.
The approach that covers everything
Developed within the international human rights framework, the human rights-based approach involves systematically identifying the impacts of a business activity on the rights of the people it affects — particularly those traditionally excluded from decision-making.
Applied to business practices, it identifies risks of harm and levers for generating documented positive outcomes.
It provides a structured framework for analyzing your organization's impacts across its stakeholders, and the means to prioritize them according to your objectives and resources.
Safeguarding and accountability for civil society organisations
Because civil society organisations are also accountable of their impact, I provide support in safeguarding and accountability. NGOs, associations, and community-based organisations operate in contexts where their accountability to the people they serve is a fundamental requirement.
Safeguarding refers to the policies, procedures, and practices that protect programmes and service-users, partners, and communities from harm caused by the organisation or its staff. I support those organisations in strengthening their safeguarding practices: analysing existing systems, developing context-appropriate policies, and training teams.
What I offer
I develop training content, practical resources, and individualized support to allow you to map your organization's concrete impacts, and build an approach that fits your means and objectives.
