Finance & Human Rights (FaHR)
www.finance-humanrights.orgFinance and Human Rights (FaHR) is a non-profit organisation created in 2019. It serves as a knowledge hub that brings together strong expertise on business & human rights with extensive experience in the financial sector. The financial industry has substantial leverage on tackling human rights issues in global corporate value chains, especially in the context of investment decision-making processes. While there is a strong focus on climate and environmental issues in sustainable or ESG finance (Environment-Social-Governance), we should not lose sight of human rights, or the “S” in ESG. Therefore, FaHR seeks to provide various stakeholders from the financial sector with its broad knowledge on how they can use their power to respect and promote human rights. It works around 3 core pillars: 1. Research: FaHR provides a platform for debates on current trends and gives updates on the latest research and developments around the topic of sustainable finance. 2. Networking: By creating a network of experts from the financial industry, civil society, academia and the public sector, FaHR strives to move forward human rights within the sustainable finance agenda. 3. Professional Development: Taking into account human rights in sustainable finance creates a great economic opportunity for financial service entities. Yet, it can be a complex process. As expert speakers at events and by offering trainings and workshops, FaHR shares its expert knowledge with various stakeholders from the financial sector in order to help them grasp the dynamics of human rights in a finance and corporate context. With our offered services within Research, Networking and Professional Development, we provide a collaborative platform that promotes future-oriented financial development consistent with human rights.
