Best Practice Guide to the Human Rights Compliance Assessment
The Best Practice Guide to the Human Rights Compliance Assessment offers multinational companies answers to questions on human rights and business. The guide is based on practical experiences of companies with Human Rights Compliance Assessment tools, instruments that help analyse and improve human rights compliance. It enables companies to address their responsibilities to their employees, customers, business partners and the wider communities within which they operate. The guide even enables businesses to put in place measures that ensure full compliance with international standards and ethical responsibilities. There is a popular misconception that the linking of human rights to business will involve a complex set of unrealistic demands. The Best Practice Guide proves the opposite, offering an achievable set of objectives that make good business sense.
