The R&A human rights practice operates at the level of individual companies and also provides a service to the Minerals Council. We consider the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
We advise and assist companies with:
- Gap analyses – assessing current practice against the UNGPs and/or the VPSHRs
- Implementation of the UNGPs
- Human rights due diligence exercises
- Establishment of grievance mechanisms for communities and other stakeholders
R&A is also providing advice and support to the Minerals Council on:
- The development of its Human Rights Framework
- Minerals Council support to members on adoption of the framework
