Our history

The International Learning Lab on Public Procurement and Human Rights was established by the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable, the Harrison Institute for Public Law at Georgetown University, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights. Then, it was led by the Business, Human Rights and the Environment Research Group at the University of Greenwich.

Currently, the lab is managed by the International Working Group on Ethical Public Procurement (IWGEPP), which is a collaboration of representatives from public contracting authorities, governmental bodies, academia, multi-stakeholder initiatives and NGOs from several countries.
