Funding

IHRB relies on donations from a range of organisations and accepts funding from governments, private foundations, international organisations, and businesses, provided they demonstrate commitment to advancing respect for human rights and sustainable development. 

IHRB is registered as a charity in the UK (with legal registration in Denmark and the USA) and is the founder of several other organisations focused on specific corporate responsibility challenges. You can find out more about our mission and work here.
 

Funding from businesses

Donations from businesses must have no conditions or restrictions attached. IHRB does not provide paid-for services or consulting to any business, and does not undertake commissioned research or related activities on behalf of individual companies. 

IHRB does not accept funding from businesses or governments that are in breach of international sanctions or businesses engaged in the tobacco or arms industries. All business donors must have made a public commitment to net-zero emissions at least by 2050. These criteria are reviewed on an annual basis. For all business donations, IHRB consults the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark ranking of businesses in high-risk sectors.

Donations will not be solicited or accepted from individuals, governments, businesses, or other organisations that IHRB believes might use a funding relationship to green/whitewash their own activities.
