Strengthening Local Groups and Collectives
PBJT works through existing collectives, worker groups, vendor associations, MSMEs, women’s collectives and SHGs, youth and farmer groups, recognising them as the foundation of democratic participation and accountability.
Understanding Corporate Footprints on Local Lives:
We examine how business operations shape livelihoods, resource use, labour relations, informal economies, and everyday life along with consumption shifts within communities.
Brand-Level Value Chain Analysis:
PBJT looks beyond the final product to examine sourcing, production, labour practices, vendor relationships, and waste generation and disposal, revealing hidden actors and risks that are often excluded from sustainability narratives.
Corporate Accountability at the Village Level:
Accountability goes beyond compliance. It includes transparent engagement, grievance mechanisms, ethical sourcing, fair labour conditions, and continuous dialogue with local collectives.
Ground-Level Reflection on BRSR Disclosures:
Global markets, climate policies, and sustainability standards reshape local work and wages. PBJT anticipates these pressures while protecting local resilience. This perspective is increasingly recognised in global policy and investor discussions, including work by the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change on place-sensitive transition risks.
