Is Shift a consultancy?
Shift is a mission-driven nonprofit organization. While we do provide advisory support to businesses, governments and other stakeholders, we differ from a consultancy in that:
- We make sure that every project we take on is one that is in line with our mission to build a world where business gets done with respect for people’s dignity.
- We help our partners build the internal capacity they need to address human rights rather than doing the work for them.
- We are constantly distilling and sharing what we learn publicly in order to set new standards for business behavior.
