A multi-disciplinary business and human rights advisory practice helping organisations move beyond social compliance — and create meaningful improvements in workers’ lives throughout their supply chains.
Businesses can and should be a force for positive change in people’s lives.
That belief founded Claire Lynch Consulting in 2020. Today our multi-disciplinary global team works with organisations across multiple sectors to translate it into practical systems — not audit theatre.
To support businesses in meeting their legal and social obligations through effective human rights due diligence, while advancing decent work and human dignity throughout global supply chains. We believe in moving beyond compliance to create genuine positive impact for workers and communities.
A world where businesses consistently generate positive social impact through their operations, where the dignity of all is protected and enhanced throughout global supply chains.
We help businesses understand and improve their impact on people. Working across the fashion, food & beverage, and FMCG supply chains, we combine expertise in human rights with practical business knowledge.
Through evidence-based assessments, strategic guidance, and practical implementation support, we help organisations to effectively manage human rights risks, protecting and enhancing human dignity in their own operations, supply chains and business relationships.
CLC brings together experts in human rights law, economics, behavioural science, gender equality, environmental science and social research. Our diverse expertise allows us to address complex supply chain challenges from multiple angles, creating innovative solutions.
Our collaborative network of Associates includes specialists in communications, education and training, design, and technology.
