DETAIL

Business and human rights, sustainability reporting and responsible business conduct more generally are high on many agendas and growing in importance for business. Companies are being confronted with these themes from various angles: human rights and responsible business conduct are attracting increased media coverage and trade unions are approaching companies with requests for information on human rights impacts on the societies in which these businesses operate.

With the endorsement of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2011, there is now a general consensus on the respective roles and responsibilities of governments and companies with regard to business and human rights.
