​

1. Business and human rights risk

All businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights. They face serious reputational damage, financial loss and potential legal liability if they get involved in or linked to human rights abuses. The proper management of human rights risk supports a sustainable business model and may enhance commercial performance. Governments, consumers, employees, investors, and regulatory authorities increasingly demand that businesses must respect human rights. Embracing a responsible business model, aligned with international standards is an important starting point, however it is crucial to manage human rights with an eye to legal frameworks and risks. Violation of human rights in many countries lead to civil or criminal liability and related litigation against companies, their directors and employees. In a more inclusive view to human rights, businesses must be aware, not only of the risks from their own decisions, acts, or omissions, but also those of their business partners, including within their supply chains. Therefore, businesses need to have an integrated human rights risk management in place to prevent reputational, and legal risks. We can assist you to establish a sophisticated human rights risks management framework, conduct the risks profiling and the risks assessment, design the due diligence processes and improve the risk culture.

2. Bribery & Corruption risk

Corruption risk causes severe and sometimes catastrophic reputational, financial loss as fines, penalties, sanctions, and legal liability. Anti-bribery and corruption laws and their enforcement are expanding at national and international levels. We can assist businesses in whole cycle of the risk management, such as assessing corruption and bribery risks in businesses, putting policies and procedures in place to address those risks, and advising how to best handle any crisis may arise from the said risks. Also, we can assist businesses to prevent, detect, and respond to bribery and corruption risks. Our services in this area of risk management are inclusive of the essentials of managing risk under well-known international and national standards, including The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act 2010. In addition to providing prevention measures that include risk assessments, the evaluation of program controls and governance structures services, we can assist for third-party screening and acquisition due diligence, and training programs in a variety of formats.
