A standard and a multi-stakeholder Initiative

The Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights ( the ‘Principles’ or ‘VPSHR’) are the leading global standard on security and human rights, implemented in over 150 countries around the world.

Originally drafted for oil, gas and mining companies, their application now spans energy ( including renewables), mining, agriculture, critical minerals, infrastructure construction, manufacturing, chemicals plants, hotels and shopping malls, and nature-based solutions such as conservation areas. The Principles are also Implemented in public security.

Today, the Principles are the leading global framework that helps companies across industries assess conflict dynamics, identify security and human rights risks, and take proactive steps to mitigate them.

The Voluntary Principles Initiative (“VPI”) is a group of companies, governments and NGOs that work together to promote the VPSHR and develop standards of best practice. Through this multistakeholder collaboration, VPI Members have provided global leadership on security and human rights practices by developing leading tools and guidance, available on our Resources page.

The VPI is the only global platform where governments, companies, and civil society collaborate to address security and human rights issues. Its tripartite model ensures credibility, balance and real-world applicability.
