United Nations Global Compact Business & Human Rights Accelerator 2026

The United Nations Global Compact Business & Human Rights Accelerator 2026 is a six-month programme designed to help companies participating in the UN Global Compact advance from commitment to action on human rights and labour rights. It covers establishing ongoing due diligence, reporting, and integration of human rights considerations into company strategy, with a certificate awarded upon completion. The programme brings together UN partners, peers, and experts to support a company’s human rights journey.

Participants gain an understanding of their human rights position, an assessment of actual and potential impacts, steps to mitigate risks, guidance on stakeholder engagement, an action plan to advance human rights, access to a network of peers and experts, and a certificate of completion.

Open to companies participating in the UN Global Compact or willing to join, with required involvement from both working-level and executive-level representatives.

Registration and participation through the UN Global Compact networks; follow-up by a Country Network to confirm participation.
