independent research into listed companies in conflict-affected and high-risk areas
Pulse - Human Rights Due Diligence
Insufficient insight into human rights violations
Institutional investors and pension funds are bound by, and have committed themselves to, the OECD Guidelines and the UN Guiding Principles. They therefore want to know whether the companies they invest in are involved in human rights violations — particularly in conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
The data is disappearing
Major data providers have scaled back or discontinued their reporting on sensitive files. The compliance obligation remains; the reliable data does not.
While the need keeps growing
Financial institutions are legally committed to due diligence on human rights violations. Regulators, partners and society actively hold them to it.

Regional modules for conflict-affected and high-risk areas
Pulse is built from regional modules, each focused on a specific conflict-affected or high-risk area. The first module is operational. Additional modules for other regions are in development, allowing investors to extend their due diligence coverage as the platform grows.
Each module gives access to a database of entities and allegations, with underlying due diligence reports that provide full transparency on methodology, evidence and sources.
