Our Human Rights Approach
Last reviewed: 30 June 2026
Our commitment to respecting human rights
We want the world to be a better place because of Bellroy, and we think that responsible business can help us get there. So we've written this into our mission statement: Promote better ways to carry. Use business as a force for good. Help the world, and our crew, flourish.
As part of this mission, we’re committed to respecting human rights. This is integral to everything we do to contribute to a flourishing world. Our Human Rights Approach is designed to ensure this commitment — that all people and communities impacted by Bellroy’s operations are respected with dignity and universal rights inherent to us all as human beings.
Human rights principles and frameworks we’re guided by
We design our Human Rights Approach guided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the global standard for how businesses and human rights fit together.
For the people and communities impacted by Bellroy’s operations, human rights include the freedom to work voluntarily, without discrimination of any kind, without harassment or abuse, in safe and healthy environments, and much more. As a starting point, we follow the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
Our human rights work
We evaluate any actual or potential negative human rights impacts across people touched by our operations. This includes:
- Our crew and third-party business partners
- Workers in our supply chain from assembly factories to fabric mills and tanneries
- Anyone who distributes and sells our products
- Our customers, anywhere in the world
- Communities around our offices and where our products are made
We identify our salient issues through assessing potential negative human rights risks based on how grave or widespread an impact would be, whether it’s reversible, and how likely it might happen. This tells us where to prioritise.
How we’re held accountable
Raise a concern. If anyone is adversely affected, or potentially affected, by anything Bellroy does or anything done in our name, we want to know about it. Anyone can ‘Raise a Concern’. They go directly to our Office of the CEO. We’ll review the issue in confidentiality and without retaliation. We’ll take corrective action where needed and review our underlying practice where required.
If you have a concern about something we’re doing on a business level, talk to us.
Governance. Our Board of Directors has approved our Human Rights Approach. Our Office of the CEO manages all concerns raised and how we continuously learn and improve our practices. Senior leaders reporting to the CEO, who together represent the people and communities affected by our business, implement and assess our Human Rights Approach.
