Human Rights & Sustainability Consulting
Human rights due diligence consulting helps companies balance respect for people with business success. These goals are not in conflict — they strengthen each other.
Companies play a key role in protecting human rights. Making this a priority improves long-term reputation, competitiveness, and trust.
As an independent human rights consultant, I guide organizations in applying international standards. I help identify risks, assess impacts, and create practical strategies. Together, we build systems that respect human rights and ensure sustainable compliance across your business.
As an independent consultant with expertise in human rights due diligence, ESG, CSRD, CSDDD, and the EU Taxonomy Regulation, I support companies and organizations in identifying risks, integrating human rights principles, and developing strategies that ensure sustainable compliance with international and EU standards.
What I offer
Human Rights Due Diligence
I help companies implement a robust human rights due diligence process in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the German Supply Chain Act, and the upcoming EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). This includes:
- Identifying your company’s actual and potential human rights impacts.
- Integrating findings into business processes.
- Developing clear policies and action plans.
- Communicating outcomes transparently.

As part of my human rights consulting, I help companies integrate global standards into daily business operations
Risk Analysis
Conducting comprehensive risk and impact analyses to identify human rights, ESG, and environmental risks in operations and supply chains. This assessment not only mitigates risks but also identifies opportunities for companies to lead in sustainable business practices. Through human rights consulting, businesses can better manage risks and ensure compliance with the CSDDD and CSRD.
