Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB)

Founded in 2009 under the leadership of Mary Robinson, IHRB deploys a mix of human rights-based research, engagement, and collaborative action with businesses, governments, financial actors, and civil society representatives to advance our mission: making human rights part of everyday business. We have developed a track record of independent analysis as well as constructive interventions and collaborative engagement with all constituencies, earning a reputation as a trusted organisation committed to working with all actors to identify practical solutions and approaches needed to effect positive change. 

IHRB also has a strong track record in successfully developing permanent, independent initiatives and national platforms on key systemic issues. These include: The Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business (MCRB), Centro Regional De Empresas Y Emprendimientos Responsables (CREER), Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB), Centre for Sport and Human Rights (CSHR), and Leadership Group for Responsible Recruitment (LGRR).
