Why work with Ivanka on UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)

The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), unanimously endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011, establish the authoritative global standard for preventing and addressing human rights impacts linked to business activity. The UNGPs rest on three pillars: the State duty to protect human rights, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, and access to remedy. The corporate responsibility pillar requires human rights due diligence — a process to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for adverse human rights impacts. The UNGPs inform mandatory human rights due diligence legislation globally (EU CSDDD, German LkSG, French Loi de Vigilance).

Most consultants approach UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) as a checkbox exercise. Ivanka approaches it as a strategic lever. With 25 years of building The Art of Service – a compliance platform now covering 692 frameworks and 819,000+ cross-framework mappings – she doesn't just understand the standard. She understands how it connects to everything else your organisation is already doing.

This matters because UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) doesn't exist in isolation. Ivanka will map your current compliance posture against the 20 controls across 3 domains, identify gaps, and show you where existing controls from other frameworks you may already follow can be leveraged – saving months of redundant work.
