Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Human Rights
Mission: Shift is the leading center of expertise on the un guiding principles on business and human rights. Shift's global team facilitates dialogue, builds capacity and develops new approaches with companies, government, civil society organizations and international institutions to bring about a world in which business gets done with respect for people's fundamental welfare and dignity.
Programs: International partnerships program - under this program, shift works collaboratively with intergovernmental institutions, industry and sport associations and multistakeholder initiatives that support implementation of the guiding principles. We help these organizations to develop practical guidance on specific human rights topics, refine their existing standards and practices, or engage in dialogue with different stakeholder groups.
business learning program - through this program, shift works with a select number of companies that we believe are serious about implementing the guiding principles. The purpose of this program is to foster leading practices by companies and to gain insights that inform all of our other activities with governments, civil society and international organizations to push for better practices more widely.
education and outreach - through this program, we provide training to build participants' capacity to drive change within their organizations, we speak at and moderate high-level public events on business and human rights, and we share our learning and insights gained throughout in-person engagements and collaborations via our online resource library.
