As the world comes together for\u00a0Human Rights Day,\u00a0the\u00a0UN\u00a0High Commissioner\u00a0for business and human rights, Michelle Bartlett,\u00a0is calling\u00a0for a focus on equality \u2018so that we recover better, fairer and greener from the pandemic\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0Building\u00a0on her request in June, for States and businesses to step up and \u2018make the next 10 years a decade of action on the Guiding Principles\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At\u00a0twentyfifty\u00a0we specialise in working with global companies on their journey from identifying their human rights impacts to addressing their social risks and becoming a sustainable business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0also\u00a0help companies to contribute to a fairer and more inclusive world by\u00a0tackling the root causes of inequality, such as living wage, women\u2019s empowerment, and child labour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With 17 years of\u00a0embedding human rights\u00a0experience to share, we\u00a0know that we have a role to play in\u00a0enabling others to act.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our article \u2018<\/span>Why a human rights approach is the only way to meet your climate goals<\/strong>\u2019<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0we call for\u00a0human rights to be central to\u00a0any climate change plan and for the views of rightsholders to be better integrated into\u00a0the\u00a0process to create\u00a0the \u2018better, fairer and greener\u2019 future we need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In partnership\u00a0with the German Global Compact Network,\u00a0we\u00a0have\u00a0tapped\u00a0into\u00a0the experience of\u00a0the first 10 years\u00a0of the UNGPs\u00a0to\u00a0highlight\u00a0<\/span>five success factors<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that we think make human rights risk management truly effective.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With our depth of experience, we are uniquely\u00a0positioned to partner with German and international companies to respond\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>German Supply Chain Act<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 We\u00a0see\u00a0an\u00a0exciting\u00a0opportunity\u00a0for\u00a0companies\u00a0to\u00a0link\u00a0their social and environmental agendas, creating\u00a0more impactful corporate\u00a0due\u00a0diligence\u00a0programmes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have also\u00a0defined\u00a0<\/span>five key success factors\u00a0to make our work with clients even more powerful and effective: quality\u00a0stakeholder engagement,\u00a0skilful\u00a0leadership of change,\u00a0attention to\u00a0human flourishing,\u00a0ongoing\u00a0technology innovation and\u00a0facing the climate crisis. By working with clients to better integrate these concepts,\u00a0we will help\u00a0to deliver greater sustainability and impact\u00a0in the decade ahead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we celebrate Human Rights Day, we are excited about the\u00a0next\u00a010 years of\u00a0action\u00a0and partnering with companies for greater impact.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
