BSR Insight | New Guide to Human Rights Reporting
According to a new resource guide on corporate human rights reporting—developed by Realizing Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the Global Reporting Initiative—many businesses struggle with how to integrate human rights into their business practices and public reporting. In fact, most companies do not publicly disclose information on their human rights impacts.
Including human rights impacts in sustainability reporting not only helps companies meet stakeholder expectations, it also helps them identify and mitigate human rights risks throughout their operations. This report—along with a complementary report on positive and negative trends in human rights reporting—provides practical suggestions to help companies get started.
The guide covers:
- Stakeholder expectations on human rights reporting
- Key challenges and how to overcome them
- How to prioritize human rights issues to include in a report
- How to integrate human rights into overall sustainability reporting
