The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) is the leading global think tank working to ensure corporate activity respects the rights of workers and communities.
For over 15 years, we have been a trusted partner to businesses, governments, civil society and communities worldwide, together driving everyday and systemic change.
Humanity faces multiple crises undermining efforts to advance the realisation of human rights, such as deepening and entrenched inequality, environmental disaster, and multilateral breakdown. These crises are profoundly impacted by the actions of business.
IHRB is committed to playing a constructive role in addressing these interconnected challenges by working with partners to shape a world in which the human rights of all people, and the natural systems they depend on, are respected, protected, and fulfilled. We produce in-depth research, facilitate expert dialogues, and provide practical advice for governments and companies to drive collective action.
As an international non-profit, our work depends on funding from a range of organisations including governments, private foundations, international organisations, and businesses. Our funding from businesses has no conditions or restrictions attached in order to preserve IHRB’s independence. Please contact us if you would like to support our mission.
