Drawing on local expertise inspired by international best practices, Minerva BHR works to foster dialogue among public, private, and civil society actors, supporting the spread of business models that respect human rights and the environment while developing practical, effective, and applicable solutions.

Today, companies are increasingly prioritizing their sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) efforts in line with the evolving national and international regulatory landscape — particularly the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The expectations of commercial partners and financial institutions also play a key role in shaping this transformation.

Established in this context, Minerva BHR Academy aims to raise awareness among businesses about respect for human rights and the environment, responsible business conduct, and compliance with relevant legislation. It also seeks to support individuals and organizations that wish to deepen their knowledge and experience at the intersection of business and human rights.

Through trainings delivered by our expert team, participants gain insight into the obligations, expectations, and good practices relating to responsible business conduct under international, regional, and national norms, enhancing their capacities in these areas.
