What makes us tick At SD Strategies we believe in a fairer and more just world for all. We recognise the intersection between business and human rights and are committed to supporting businesses to operationalise the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We help businesses understand their salient human rights impacts and integrate management of these into existing business systems and processes. Our 25 years of experience in environmental and social sustainability, combined with current research with leading academics on business and human rights, means we keep up to date with relevant issues, legislative requirements, business systems and stakeholder expectations both in Australia and internationally.
Who we want to work with Our services target Australian businesses - especially those with overseas operations or transnational supply chains and with an annual revenue of over $50million – that are captured by NSW and Commonwealth modern slavery legislation. This includes government agencies that have to meet their own reporting obligations and expectations of the broader community. We also work with small to medium businesses not captured by the legislation but who understand the competitive advantage that will come from fulfilling human rights expectations of their customers.
