Corporate Vision Most Trusted Business & Human Rights Advisory Firm 2025 – UK As global supply chains face increasing scrutiny, businesses are under pressure to ensure their operations respect human rights and promote sustainability. From responsible sourcing to risk management, the challenges are complex and often cross disciplinary boundaries. Meeting these challenges with clarity and conviction, Claire Lynch Consulting helps organisations understand and improve their impact on people, guiding them through the practical steps needed to build ethical, resilient, and socially responsible supply chains. We heard more from Founding Director, Claire Lynch, below, following the firm’s recent recognition in the Global Business Awards 2025. Claire Lynch Consulting was founded in 2020, fuelled by the belief that businesses can and should be a force for positive change. The firm works with organisations across multiple sectors to make this belief a reality, helping them to understand and improve their impact on people through its specialism in human rights and environmental due diligence, responsible sourcing, and risk management. A woman-owned firm, Claire Lynch Consulting is led by a small team of industry professionals who refuse to deliver off-the-shelf solutions. “Our team brings together a wide set of expertise and experience into a unique collective with a shared goal: protecting the dignity of workers,” Claire told us. “Combining these complementary – and sometimes clashing – perspectives and opinions fuels our endless commitment to curiosity, leading to fresh ideas and innovative solutions for our clients.” This extensive experience spans many disciplines, including human rights law, economics, psychology and behavioural science, gender, education, and procurement and logistics. Drawing upon its vast expertise, Claire Lynch Consulting effectively guides organisations – particularly those in food, fashion, and FMCG sectors – through the practical steps required to understand and address the protection of workers’ dignity, enabling them to build sustainable, socially responsible supply chains. This transdisciplinary work is guided by Claire Lynch Consulting’s core values of integrity, inquisitiveness, and innovation, underpinned by an unwavering commitment to ensure that all workers, everywhere, are treated with the dignity they deserve. These principles shape the firm’s methodologies, its relationships, and the results it delivers, establishing Claire Lynch Consulting as a trusted and effective partner renowned across multiple industries for delivering measurable positive change. The firm approaches obstacles with curiosity, refusing to view problems as roadblocks and instead utilising them as signals – pointing out the areas in which deeper reflection and enhanced solutions are required. This strategy is facilitated by the team’s transdisciplinary approach, which enables the breakdown of complex problems into various streamlined perspectives, such as legal, social, operational, and human. This way, Claire Lynch Consulting does not only uncover the risks that it faces, but also the opportunities that lie beneath them. “For example,” said Claire, “when a client faces pressure around human rights due diligence or ESG performance, the challenge often feels compliance driven. But by focusing on the dignity of workers and the long-term resilience of supply chains, we help turn that requirement into an opportunity: to strengthen relationships with stakeholders; to innovate in sourcing practices; and to build a more resilient, sustainable, and trusted business for the long-term.” This is a vital strategy to succeed in the business and human rights field, a fast-moving landscape that is evolving every day. The future belongs to the businesses that wholeheartedly embrace the challenges of human rights risk management and utilise it to enhance their resilience and stability. Recognising this, Claire Lynch Consulting remains committed to developing and delivering the tools and expertise to help clients not only meet their compliance and customer demands, but to also future proof themselves and their supply chain partners. As it looks to the future, Claire Lynch Consulting keeps its core values as the lens for every decision it makes. Before acting, the team asks themselves: “Does this decision uphold dignity, strengthen collaboration, and create real impact?” Leveraging its distinctive transdisciplinary approach, the firm tests ideas from alternate perspectives to ensure that integrity, inquisitiveness, and innovation remain aligned with its purpose. “And because living our values means sharing them, we are working hard behind the scenes to introduce a host of new training and guidance resources in 2026 to help organisations put these principles into practice,” Claire shared with us. “This will build on our experience and give clients practical tools to confidently embed dignity and responsibility more deeply into their work, using our unique evidence-based transdisciplinary methodology. In this way, we act – and react – without losing sight of what matters most: respect for people.” Contact: Claire Lynch Company: Claire Lynch Consulting Web Address: www.clairelynchconsulting.com Aug25081
