<div class="wysiwyg-content"><p>We are pleased to announce that we have joined LRQA, a leader in ESG advisory, assessment, inspection and cybersecurity services, to create a stronger, more integrated team dedicated to delivering even greater value to our clients.</p> <p>As businesses and investors with global value chains face new regulations, increased stakeholder scrutiny and the growing need to embed human rights due diligence into their strategies, the partnership enhances the technical and advisory capabilities on offer to clients. By joining forces, LRQA and Ergon Associates will deliver industry-leading expertise, enabling businesses and investors to better integrate ESG factors into their decision-making processes.</p> <p>Steve Gibbons, Director for Ergon Associates, said:</p> <p>“Ergon Associates is pleased to be recognised for its profile as both a market and thought leader, based on our deep technical expertise and integrity on incredibly sensitive issues as well as work with different client types, from well-known companies to international public organisations. By uniting with LRQA, we can offer even broader expertise and deeper insights to ensure that we help our clients implement commitments on human rights, labour standards and gender equality. Combined with LRQA’s global reach, we look forward to continuing our work on cutting-edge issues for all our clients.”</p> <p>Erin Lyon, Managing Director for LRQA’s Advisory division, said:</p> <p>“Protecting workers and human rights has never been more urgent, and the complexity of global supply chains cannot excuse inaction. LRQA is therefore proud to continue our ambitious mergers and acquisition strategy and strengthen our existing ESG capabilities to meet demand from the market.  LRQA has a unique perspective on the challenges of responsible sourcing, shaped by extensive on-the-ground experience and data capabilities. This, coupled with Ergon Associates’ expert consultancy and research on human rights, positions us to drive real impact for our clients and communities.”</p> <p>This milestone represents a significant step forward for both LRQA and Ergon Associates, which has now been completed with all regulatory approvals secured. The teams will now work together to integrate Ergon Associates into LRQA’s operations, ensuring a smooth transition to ultimately benefit both client based and internal processes and to increase the impact and purpose of our work.</p> <p>If you would like to find out more about our services, please do not hesitate to contact us.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section section-border section-related-articles"> <div class="wrapper"> <h2>More in </h2> <ul class="articles-list"> <li><a href="https://ergonassociates.net/ergon-update-july-2024/" class="clearfix"><span class="title">Ergon Update - July 2024</span> <span class="date">18.07.2024</span></a></li> <li><a href="https://ergonassociates.net/ergon-update-april-2024/" class="clearfix"><span class="title">Ergon Update - April 2024</span> <span class="date">11.04.2024</span></a></li> <li><a href="https://ergonassociates.net/why-gender-equality-is-key-to-climate-action-and-why-it-helps-to-take-a-sectoral-view/" class="clearfix"><span class="title">Why gender equality is key to climate action … and why it helps to take a sectoral view</span> <span class="date">08.03.2024</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </section> </main> <footer class="footer"> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-2 col-l-3 col-m-4"> <h5>Address</h5> Ergon Associates Ltd<br/> Unit 1, <br/> 9a Dallington Street,<br> London EC1V 0BQ.<br> Company number: 5401100 </div> <div class="col-3 col-m-4"> <h5>General Enquiries</h5> +44 (0)20 7713 0386<br> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9ff6f1f9f0dffaedf8f0f1feececf0fcf6feebfaecb1f1faeb"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fa93949c95ba9f889d95949b89899599939b8e9f89d4949f8e">[email protected]</span></a> </div> <div class="col-2 col-m-4"> <h5>Policies</h5> <a href="https://www.lrqa.com/en/privacy-notice/">Privacy Policy</a><br> <a href="https://www.lrqa.com/en/cookies-policy/">Cookie Policy</a> </div> <div class="col-3 col-m-4"> <h5>Newsletter</h5> <form data-form="mailchimp"> <input type="hidden" name="language" value="en"> <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name"> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="E-mail address"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <div class="ajax-message ok">Thank you for subscribing.</div> <div class="ajax-message error">Please fill in following form correctly.</div> </form> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div>  <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> var ajaxurl = 'https://ergonassociates.net/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php'; </script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.min.js?ver=9c2108c8152fa740e5a74df501832aaf' id='comment-reply-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js?ver=2.1.4' id='jquery-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-easing/1.3/jquery.easing.min.js?ver=1.3' id='jquery.easing-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/jquery.transit.js?ver=1488917965' id='jquery.transit-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/jquery.cookie.js?ver=1488917965' id='jquery.cookie-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/jquery.ba-throttle-debounce.min.js?ver=1488917965' id='jquery.throttle-debounce-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/jquery.inview.js?ver=1488917965' id='jquery.inview-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/swiper.min.js?ver=1488917965' id='swiper-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/lib/jquery.nanoscroller.min.js?ver=1504112152' id='nanoscroller-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/main.js?ver=1504112152' id='main-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ergonassociates.net/wp-content/themes/ergon/_/js/map.js?ver=1491497898' id='map-js'></script> </body> </html>
