Strategy and Planning

Working alongside you we look to identify your ambitions and understand the why that underpins the strategy. This way we create a strategy that identifies desired outcomes, tailored to your business.

Development of the right strategy is vital, as this enables us to create appropriate plans around the strategy.

Our project planning is moulded by the desired outcomes of the strategy and encompasses the how, when, where, who and what to achieve your ambitions. 

Human Rights and Modern Slavery

With the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and recent national legislation, such as the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the global landscape is changing at a rapid pace. Nations, industry and civil society are waking up to new realities and requirements for sustainability.

At QBL Consulting we are experts at devising solutions to guide and support your business in this new global landscape.

We have significant experience at delivering global solutions for Human Rights and Modern Slavery within supply chains, including creating strategy, awareness raising and training, mapping supply chains, assessing risk, action planning, delivery of “on the ground” solutions for workers and communities and monitoring and communicating actions and results.

Due Diligence

Creating a due diligence programme is vital to meet your stakeholders’ requirements. Doing so for modern slavery, human rights and environment requires expertise to ensure that you are able to create a programme that is as robust as reasonably practicable.

At QBL we are able to provide consultancy which provides your business with the appropriate mix of solutions to ensure that your programme is robust. Solutions are tailored to your industry and level of resource and would include a variety of methods, such as audit, human rights impacts assessment, specific remedial programme engagement, community impact assessments to name a few.

Sedex Data and Non-Compliance Solutions

Sedex is the global data platform that allows suppliers and sites to share their ethical and environmental data with customers globally. However, it can be time consuming to manage and interpret the data. At QBL Consulting we have a team who can run the data for you and provide accurate reports on supplier status. It will allow you to clearly see where your issues are within your supply chain.

Additionally, we can follow up, on your behalf, directly with your suppliers and sites to manage the closure of any outstanding non-compliances.

Training

QBL Consulting can provide training, whether bespoke to your business or standard modules, on Human Rights and Environmental issues.

Modern Slavery training and awareness raising is a key part of what we do and we are able to deliver training solutions to meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders, from Board members, through to workers and communities and within supply chains.

Environment

It is widely acknowledged that businesses founded on sustainability principles consistently outperform their competitors. At QBL Consulting we can help you navigate the complexities of environmental risk and management, to enable your business to be truly sustainable.
