Why are human rights essential to business?

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that protect all people. Businesses are increasingly held accountable for their human rights performance in their ongoing operations, supply chains and affiliations. Growing scrutiny by shareholders, investors, governments and civil society entails that implementing human rights policies and processes is a key element to reduce risk, strengthen reputation, comply with due diligence legislation and ensure longevity.

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights set the standard for responsible business and outline expectations for human rights engagement across industries.
