Humane-Biz SME and Suppliers Program
Increasingly, global buyers, banks, workers and other stakeholders demand that SMEs and suppliers in general demonstrate their respect for human rights. Due to the increasing implementation of international standards, buyer companies worldwide are required to ensure that their suppliers comply with this respect, or else their status and continuity as suppliers may be affected.
Therefore, demonstrating respect for human rights increases your competitiveness. This is why demonstrating respect for human rights increases your competitiveness, giving you an advantage over competitors that do not yet have it, securing your status as a supplier, opening up access to new markets and financing possibilities by reducing the risk of contagion from adverse impacts on your rights as a supplier.
However, until the creation of Humane-Biz, there was no consulting solution specifically aimed at SMEs and suppliers in human rights due diligence.
With more than 5 years of experience advising major companies in Latin America, the United States and Europe on human rights due diligence according to the standards of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines and Guides, LH Law & Consulting and Equilibre Consultores bring you this program at very affordable prices thanks to its technological platform, created to provide advisory services to SMEs which enables them to demonstrate to all their stakeholders respect for human rights according to the highest international standards.
If you are a large company located anywhere in the world that is just getting started on the road of human rights due diligence, don't worry, we also have options for you, either within our Humane-Biz SME and Supplier Program, or customized consulting services in compliance with the highest international standards.
