Human Rights and Labour Conditions

Responsibility for human rights and labour conditions has become a key driver of trust, investment appetite, and market access. Companies must be able to demonstrate that they identify and manage the risks of adverse impacts – both within their own operations and across their supply chains. Governments, investors, and wider society are imposing increasingly stringent requirements, underpinned by legislation such as the Transparency Act, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), and EEA regulations.

At Arntzen Grette, we advise companies on integrating human rights considerations into their governance frameworks, risk management processes, and compliance strategies. We provide both strategic and operational guidance on human rights due diligence, public disclosures, internal policies, and supplier engagement.

Our experience also includes assisting clients with whistleblowing cases, investigations into labour conditions, regulatory inspections, and investor-led sustainability audits. Through our legal and strategic advisory services, we help businesses meet evolving regulatory requirements and societal expectations – building long-term value on a foundation of respect for fundamental rights.
