Human Rights | FRANK PARTNERS

Human Rights and Supply Chain Services

We support corporations and investors to understand supply chain risks and safeguard against any actual or potential negative impacts on human rights throughout their value chain. Our services enable you to seize opportunities for transparency-linked value creation, while also complying with regulatory human rights due diligence requirements (CSDDD, CSRD, EU Taxonomy) and international standards (OECD Guidelines, UNGPs, ILO Conventions). We guide clients through rigorous risk and impact assessments, due diligence, advisory, training, and strategic processes, among others, enabling you to scale ethical business practices and effectively engage with stakeholders. We have long-standing experience advising investors and corporations on how to navigate supply chain challenges by drawing on regional expertise and investigations in emerging markets and deep understanding of legal diligence requirements.

Strategy and Advisory

Our approach focuses on collaboration, mapping, and prioritisation to develop human rights strategies and programmes that not only improve worker conditions in clients' supply chains but also deliver business value. We work closely with senior executives to integrate human rights into core business strategies, manage risks, seize opportunities, and embed sustainability across business functions.

Human Rights DD & Investigations

We help clients design human rights programmes that enable continuous human rights due diligence by identifying and assessing risks across geographies, sectors, and multi-tier supply chains. Our approach ensures businesses can mitigate risks at every stage, from raw material suppliers to logistics and retail partners. Each assessment is tailored to the client’s needs and adapted to the complexities of their supply chains. We have a global network of sector and region-specific partners that help us bringing local context knowledge and additional language capabilities.

Regulatory Alignment

Ensuring compliance with human rights due diligence laws and international standards is crucial for companies to manage risks and maintain their reputations. Adopting a pragmatic approach that leverages synergies while addressing the unique aspects of each regulation is essential for effective compliance. Our services help organisations identify gaps in their existing practices, align with legal requirements, and streamline compliance processes. This approach helps reduce resource strain while ensuring that companies meet both regulatory obligations and stakeholder expectations.
