alliance for grievance mechanisms
in supply chains

our mission

better protection of human rights and the environment

We establish a multi-stakeholder framework for harmonizing grievance mechanisms worldwide and organizing solutions with our partners to better protect human rights and the environment in supply chains.

It is our mission to ensure that individuals who are aware of human rights or environmental violations, or who may be affected by the violation of a legal position, have access to assistance and effective remedies through trusted channels. It is unique in its remit to bundle company owned grievance mechanisms by expanding across supply chains, commodity sectors and geographies.

The violation of a legal position may occur or threaten to occur in an alliance partner’s own business and/or in the partner’s supply chain. For instance, people who might be impacted or already are aware include workers of suppliers or nearby communities where suppliers operate.

Our appellando Alliance aims to acknowledge the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct in connection with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We follow a collaborative approach to harmonize standards for technical interoperability, efficient monitoring, effective investigations and concerted, sustained remediation efforts that are applicable in local and global supply chains, across businesses, commodities, industries, sectors, and geographies.
