The IGCC is committed to sustainable and responsible business conduct. The business growth and protection of human rights go hand in hand as we continue to support companies toward resilient, sustainable, and inclusive growth.

Human rights violations in the supply chains, especially those that disproportionately affect minority groups and women, are well documented across the world. As the world moves from voluntary compliance to mandatory compliance on human rights due diligence, customers, investors, and buyers alike are placing growing pressure on companies to be ethically responsible toward the adverse impact it has on society. The protection of workers must not be traded in exchange for short-term economic gains.

In December 2021 the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) entered into a partnership with UNDP India and amfori to develop and implement a virtual workshop a will cater to the specific needs of companies operating in India. The partnership will bring together the world-class expertise of the three organisations to build capacity-building content aligned with the need of the industry and harmonised to internationally recognised standards.

This initiative is being undertaken as part of the Business and Human Rights Asia (B+HR Asia) programme, supported by the European Union.
