We offer you initial starting points, support, and guidance on the topic of living wage. Living Wages Through their commitment to living wages, companies can enable workers worldwide to enjoy a decent standard of living. Labour poverty caused by low wages is a global problem and is widespread in different sectors. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), in 2019, more than 630 million workers worldwide - almost one in five, or 19 percent of all employees - did not earn enough to lift themselves and their families out of extreme or moderate poverty. Companies can use their influence along their supply and value chains to advocate for living wages across all sectors and enable a decent standard of living for workers worldwide. In addition to making an important social contribution, living wages also represent an investment in core businesses, value chains, and the broader operating environment for many companies. They also enable companies to fulfill their human rights obligations better. This is because legislation is increasingly demanding that companies pay decent wages. Benefit from the many resources provided by the UN Global Compact to advance your living wage efforts.

The business community has a responsibility to uphold human rights and labour standards both in the workplace and more broadly along its entire value chain Human Rights The idea of human rights is as simple as it is powerful: That all people have a right to be treated with dignity. Businesses often impact the human rights of their employees and contract workers, workers in their supply chains, the communities around their operations and even the end users of their products or services. Whether directly or indirectly, they impact virtually the entire spectrum of internationally recognized human rights. As a result, companies have both a responsibility and an opportunity to advance human rights across operations, supply chains and beyond. Is your company able to know and show that it supports and respects the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights, and that it is not complicit in human rights abuses? We offer a wide range of resources including e-learning & webinar recordings, tools & publications and training programmes as well as exchange opportunities to support you in implementing human rights due diligence processes no matter where you are in your sustainability journey.
