Renewable Energies Value Chain

A just transition to a net-zero carbon economy

BHRRC Renewable Energy & Human Rights Benchmark Briefing

Renewable energy is key for our transition to a low-carbon economy. Renewable energy companies and investors are at the forefront of the Just Energy Transition. Their human rights policies and practices must ensure that this transition is both fast and fair. 

The resources below provide a series of briefings and online platforms analysing the renewable energies value chain, from mineral exploration and extraction to manufacturing and project deployment and their human rights implications. They include companies' human rights policies and practices, as well as human rights risks in their supply chains. The briefings highlight human rights concerns, examples of good practice, as well as cases showing that failure to respect human rights can result in project delays, legal procedures and costs for renewable energy companies, underlying the urgency to strengthen human rights due diligence.
