Goals / Remit
Shift's purpose is to transform how business gets done in order to ensure respect for people’s lives and dignity. We believe that the best way to advance our mission is by working directly with Businesses to help shape their practices, culture and behavior and by working with Governments, Financial Institutions, civil society and other market actors to embed the right requirements and incentives into the frameworks within which business operates.
