The rapid expansion of ESG policies has not translated into meaningful protections for workers. Thus, There is a need for stronger worker-driven approaches that ensure migrant workers are part of the global dialogue on business and human rights where they could engage meaningfully with companies to shape solutions based on their needs, expectations, and perspectives.

Existing HRDD practices often fail to capture the complexities of workers experiences, particularly among vulnerable populations. Current social audits inadequately address these issues, making it essential to develop more robust mechanisms.

Through our research program and meaningful engagement with workers and our regional partners, we generate actionable data and work with The Remedy Project to strengthen worker protections and bridge the gaps in access to effective remedy processes and outcomes.

We are launching a new engagement tool aimed at identifying gender-informed human rights and labour risks in supply chains. As part of the innovation, the tool combines gender-informed human rights expertise with legal, cultural, and behavioral insights.
