IHRB’s 2023-2025 Strategy is informed by over a decade of experience since our founding in 2009, and is shaped by the knowledge and expertise of our global network of leaders, practitioners, and activists across business, finance, government, and civil society. 

It is a living document, capturing IHRB’s current thinking and approaches to making human rights part of everyday business around the world, but also expected to evolve over time.

This Strategy is also a directional document. It provides an overview of: 

  • Our view of the global context in which our vision and long-term outcomes must be rooted
     
  • Our mission-driven objectives of shaping policy, advancing practice, and strengthening accountability
     
  • Our day-to-day approaches to delivering impact
