Human Rights Risk Assessment in the Technology Sector

Situation

A global technology company leveraged our Human Rights Risk & Impact Assessment services to complete dozens of country-level and sector-level human rights risk assessments to identify human rights risks linked to their operations, including in Iraq, Sudan, Mali and Turkey.

Solution

We assessed human rights risks relating to freedom of expression, data privacy and security, surveillance and freedom from discrimination. We interviewed internal teams and, among others, local human rights campaigners and anti-hate speech activists to understand how the client’s platform is used in each market.

Impact

We identified categories of harmful content on their platform and provided actionable and tailored recommendations to mitigate human rights risks.

We are the world’s leading purpose driven, digitally enabled, science-based activator. And always welcome inquiries and partnerships to drive positive change together.
