How Mieko is shaping the future with confidence
“I am focused on creating systems that link business respect for human rights to corporate value. I provide comprehensive support and training related to human rights due diligence in business operations, ranging from risk identification and assessment to KPI design and grievance mechanism development. I also help promote corporate transparency and accountability by helping companies to visualize supply chain risks and drive continuous improvement through plan-do-check-act cycles.
I also offer support to companies wishing to integrate compliance with international regulations, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, in order to align with global standards. As today’s challenges are tomorrow’s opportunities, my mission and purpose is to build trust capital as a pathway to accelerating sustainable growth and societal transformation.”
