All organisations have a responsibility and an interest in ensuring labour rights and wider human rights are respected in relation to their direct employees and through supply chains and investment relationships. As societal and stakeholder expectations expand and commercial relationships become more complex, this agenda is becoming more challenging.

Ergon is an independent network of labour rights, human rights and governance experts. We are committed to working with leading-edge organisations that are serious about addressing their responsibilities.

We provide cross-cutting research and advisory services informed by our wide experience of working with different sectors, organisations and stakeholder viewpoints. Our practical support and advice helps clients develop appropriate policies together with effective operational systems and due diligence mechanisms to manage and promote the governance of their labour and human rights risks and responsibilities. In addition, we undertake a wide range of special research, policy and evaluation projects.

Our services are used by leading public and private sector organisations, and are delivered by an expert team with a wealth of experience in labour law, human rights law, socially responsible investment, industrial relations, ethical trade, development finance, community and social impacts, and social auditing.
