Master in Certified Human Rights Officer

The tuition fee is 23,250 USD per year.

Navigating the complex intersection of global supply chains and human rights requires more than just policy awareness—it demands a rigorous, actionable expertise in regulatory compliance. The Certified Human Rights & ESG Risk Monitoring Officer programme at ESCP Business School is designed for professionals tasked with translating the EU’s evolving legislative landscape—including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), the CSRD, and sector-specific regulations like the Battery and Conflict Minerals Acts—into concrete, risk-mitigating strategies.

This course moves beyond the theoretical to address the practical challenges of implementing human rights due diligence. It is structured for those responsible for:

• Establishing and operating effective grievance mechanisms and complaints procedures.
• Conducting robust risk assessments and monitoring across global value chains.
• Aligning internal operations with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles, ILO Core Labour Standards, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Participants gain a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the "ESG jungle," learning how to transform potential liability and reputational risk into a competitive advantage for their organisations. By bridging the gap between national legislation—such as the German Supply Chain Act or the French Loi de Vigilance—and international requirements, the programme empowers professionals to act as the central authority for sustainability and human rights within their companies.
