Human Rights Data
Risk data for human rights due diligence, compliance, and impact assessment
With the rise of mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) laws, the business and human rights (BHR) landscape is becoming increasingly complex for companies, investors, and insurers. To achieve positive outcomes that go beyond mere compliance, it is critical that your supply chain, operational or portfolio risk assessments are underpinned by robust, independent data.
Our human rights risk indices constitute the only structured data covering the entire range of labour, civil and political rights for all countries. To enable more granular insight into your risk exposures, our data also features unique subnational data, which allows for the analysis of key rights in over 3000 states and counties worldwide.
These resources have been developed in full alignment with the UN OHCR and the OECD guidelines and are designed specifically to ensure that your due diligence processes are built on granular, credible, and actionable foundations.
Used by leading multinationals across the globe, our indices help:
