RWI focuses on integrating human rights into business practices by supporting the development of domestic and international rule-based systems that compel and enable companies to respect human rights.
Guided by international standards like the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, RWI has developed and delivered training programs for key stakeholders, including prosecutors, lawyers, and CSOs, on addressing human rights and environmental issues.
In partnership with local and international organizations, such as the Business Council for Sustainable Development in the Philippines, RWI has implemented workshops to foster business engagement in human rights and environmental sustainability. Additionally, RWI supported the Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights on the launch of PRISMA 2.0, an updated tool for assessing business and human rights practices, and developed guidelines for local task forces in Indonesia to promote human rights in business at the local level.
Through research and collaboration, including a study on shareholder actions related to climate change and human rights that was conducted with the Nanyang Business School, RWI enhances awareness and engagement across various sectors, working to ensure that business practices respect human rights and contribute to environmental sustainability.
