We help organisations move beyond commitments toward credible, measurable, and scalable outcomes — partnering with businesses, investors, and multilaterals across four continents.
Who We Are
IDH Solutions is a social enterprise combining global strategic capabilities with genuine on-the-ground expertise. We partner with businesses, investors, and multilaterals to build value chains that are resilient, inclusive, and future-fit — translating sustainability commitments into credible, measurable outcomes.
Active in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America with deep local presence and in-country teams.
Aligning buyers, suppliers, governments, CSOs, and financial actors around shared goals.
From diagnostic to implementation: roadmaps, assessments, and programme management that deliver.
From farm fields to factory lines — apparel, food, agriculture, and beyond.
Our Approach
We blend strategic insight with hands-on delivery to drive real market transformation — meeting partners where they are and accelerating their path to change.
Solutions grounded in real operating contexts, not just theory.
Building ownership and long-term capability at every level of the value chain.
Rigorous, data-driven methods and defensible metrics that underpin every decision we make.
From pilots to multi-country, sector-level transformation.
How We Work
Each service can be deployed standalone or combined into a broader transformation programme — always tailored to your ambition and context.
Robust diagnostics and insight that enable confident action.
Strengthening internal and ecosystem capacity for sustained performance.
Convening brands, suppliers, governments, and financiers around shared priorities.
Moving from proof-of-concept to systemic, sector-wide transformation.

Addressing the full complexity of value chain sustainability — from decent work and living wages to platform governance, investment facilitation, and programme delivery.
Evidence-driven interventions creating safe and empowering workplaces with measurable, continuous improvement.
We build value chains that withstand disruption and create equitable outcomes for producers, workers, and communities.
We convene and manage multi-stakeholder initiatives — aligning diverse partners to execute sector-level sustainability commitments.
We accelerate investment-ready, high-impact project pipelines across the full project and fund manager lifecycle.
Supporting companies to meet mandatory and voluntary sustainability requirements with lifecycle compliance and extended supply chain accountability.
Structured programme management from initial set-up through handover or ongoing oversight — robust governance and measurable delivery.
Our Experience
Proven at scale across sectors and geographies — from factory safety in Asia to living wage programmes across global supply chains.
Coordinating sector-wide action on fire, electrical, and structural safety across Tier 1 and Tier 2 apparel suppliers in India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia — bringing leading brands together for systemic, lasting change.
LABS assesses factories against a harmonised international safety standard, reducing audit duplication, sharing cost across member brands, and building lasting in-country safety capacity across four Asian production hubs.
Improving workplace safety for women — partnering with brands, producers, and local organisations to identify risks, strengthen prevention and response systems, and turn gender commitments into concrete action.
Through on-ground interventions and shared learning, the programme identifies gender-based risks, strengthens grievance and support mechanisms, and builds safer, more inclusive workplaces. Interventions are co-designed with local partners to ensure cultural relevance and lasting ownership.
Bringing together major European retailers to commit to and implement living wages throughout the banana supply chain — a pioneering multi-retailer approach to closing the living wage gap through collective action.
IDH Solutions designed and manages a collaborative framework enabling retailers to make credible, verifiable commitments on living wages for banana workers — including gap assessment, roadmap development, supplier engagement, and transparent progress reporting.
We created UNGC’s learning strategy and digital academy to drive living-wage implementation across global supply chains — informing practical action-planning for companies and their suppliers worldwide.
IDH Solutions designed UNGC’s end-to-end digital learning experience: learning strategy, module architecture, content development, and supplier action-planning tools — bridging the gap between policy commitment and practical implementation.
We created living wage content and training to introduce the Living Wage and Living Wage Partner approach to Unilever’s priority suppliers across seven priority countries.
IDH Solutions designed and delivered bespoke training and engagement content tailored to Unilever’s global supplier base — building understanding of living wage concepts, gap assessment methodology, and a practical roadmap for supplier engagement and progress tracking.
