Build a human rights compliance management system in ten steps

Establish and maintain a compliance management system for human rights following ISO 37301

ISO 37301 is a global standard that provides a framework for managing compliance, from sanctions and data privacy to human rights and beyond. It helps organisations implement the policies, processes and controls to build and maintain a strong compliance culture.  

By following ISO 37301, you will:  

  • simplify compliance management with a single, guided framework  

  • effectively identify, assess and mitigate compliance risks  

  • strengthen compliance with legal and regulatory requirements  

  • enhance trust and credibility with stakeholders.
