At HeneKom Group, we transform international human rights principles into grounded, context-specific solutions that serve both our client’s organization and the communities they affect. We call this social architecture. Custom-built systems that reduce risk, create certainty where there is ambiguity, and embed long-term value. Like the honeycomb, our namesake, these systems are resilient, efficient, and enduring. Just as bees assess, adapt, and protect their hive, we proactively identify human rights risks and strengthen our client’s organizational foundations. The result: our client’s values, market position, and reputation are preserved and future-proofed.

How We Work

We turn complexity into clarity through governance-driven solutions that deliver measurable, meaningful results.

Henekom Group supports clients in translating complex human rights frameworks into policies and processes that can be effectively operationalized with measurable impact in mind. Our approach is grounded in rightsholder-centered engagement and deep contextual understanding. We design actionable strategies tailored to each client’s mandate and operating environment. From the first conversation to final implementation, we ensure that reflective governance principles such as transparency, accountability, and continuous oversight are embedded across all levels of decision-making.

What’s the Buzz?

  • “Strategic thinkers who listen closely and act boldly make the world go round. Minal Davis and Henekom fall squarely into that rarefied category, guided by subject matter expertise on how government works. Minal’s leadership secured the first city endorsement of the Children’s Bill of Rights in Sports, a human rights framework that went on to be adopted by the US Conference of Mayors and more than a dozen municipalities.”

    Tom Farrey, Executive Director

    The Aspen Institute, Sports & Society Program

  • “Partnering with the HeneKom Group has proven to be a truly strategic and rewarding decision for the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee in preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2026. From the outset, Minal Davis and her team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, maturity, and expertise that has consistently exceeded our expectations. The HeneKom Group’s approach to landscape assessment was both thorough and insightful, ensuring nuanced aspects of our region were carefully considered. Their ability to synthesize complex data into actionable strategies has been invaluable, providing us with clear direction as we navigate the many facets of planning such a monumental event. Perhaps most impressive is their skill in building consensus among diverse stakeholders. Minal’s leadership fosters an environment of trust and collaboration, helping us align our vision and priorities while respecting the perspectives of all involved. We are deeply grateful for the HeneKom Group’s partnership and look forward to continuing our work together as we bring the excitement of the World Cup to North Texas.”
