The UN Global Compact Business & Human Rights Accelerator Program 2026 is a six-month action-focused initiative aimed at helping companies move from commitment to measurable impact on human rights and labour rights.

If your company is part of the UN Global Compact or willing to join, this time-sensitive opportunity offers the tools, training, and peer learning to help you embed the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights into your operations and strategies.
This program empowers business professionals to identify, prioritize, and act on human rights risks across value chains—building responsible, resilient businesses in the process.
