Our work on responsible business conduct

Fair and Ethical Recruitment

Good Practices on Fair and Ethical Recruitment

We’ve developed a good practices and practical solutions guide for governments and businesses to protect migrant workers in the Indo-Pacific region.

Roadmaps for Fair and Ethical Recruitment

We’ve developed roadmaps to promote the fair and ethical recruitment of migrant workers in the Thai-Cambodia migration corridor, as well as a regional road map to promote the fair and ethical recruitment of migrant workers in the Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam region.

Grievance and Remediation

Remediation Mechanisms

We’ve developed a ground breaking alternative dispute resolution mechanism for the remediation of migrant worker grievances in global supply chains.

The mechanism supports businesses to proactively identify, resolve, and remediate grievances, while also generating vital data to support improvements to governance structures and processes to reduce the risk of future grievances and better manage social sustainability related risks.

We also support businesses and business associations to improve their existing grievance and remediation mechanisms to improve outcomes for workers and businesses.

Corporate Governance

Human Rights Due Diligence

We support businesses to develop and improve human rights due diligence mechanisms, and prepare for new and emerging human rights due diligence laws. Read our recent human rights due diligence guidance for businesses in Asia here.

Supplier Codes and Policies

We support businesses to improve their supplier codes of conduct, responsible business conduct policies, and sustainability practices to ensure that they are fit for purpose in light of realities of exploitation on the ground in Asia. Our clients include a Fortune 500 technology company and global business alliances.
