This joint Guardian Sustainable Business and BSR event will explore the approaches companies are taking to implement the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Business and Human Rights: Implementing Principles and Solving Dilemmas

Additionally, BSR will launch a new report outlining our approach to human rights impact assessments, based on our experience conducting human rights due diligence for companies in the consumer products, energy and extractives, health care, ICT, and media sectors, among others. BSR’s Human Rights Director Faris Natour will share highlights from the report, which will include 10 principles for effective human rights impact assessments at the corporate, market, product, and site levels.
