ACCESS TO REMEDY
The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights require companies to develop grievance mechanisms that are legitimate in the eyes of stakeholders, accessible to stakeholders, predictable, equitable, transparent, rights compatible, and promote continuous learning and improvement.
Avanzar helps its clients ensure their mine site grievance mechanisms align with these expectations.
