Collaborative action
We enable companies to find collective solutions to challenges they cannot solve on their own, such as mobilising community leaders to help economic regeneration in New Orleans or engaging unions and civil society groups in upholding human rights in Colombia.

Influencing individual companies
We work with companies to enable them to manage the specific social risks and opportunities they face. For example, we helped a major food and drinks company develop a Fairtrade coffee brand, an extractive company audit its human rights practice, and a professional services company embed their values among their management.

Institution building
We strengthen national and international organizations that engage business in development issues, for example by providing leadership and administrative support for new organizations in Eastern Europe, sharing good practice with well-established institutions in Asia, or building the partnership skills and capacity of major UN and aid agencies.
