The human rights landscape for the information and communications technology (ICT) sector can be daunting. ICT companies face complex and nuanced challenges related to freedom of expression, privacy, and security, and often have millions of users in very different geographic, political, and socioeconomic settings.
The Ranking Digital Rights project is completing a methodology to rank the world’s major ICT companies on their policies and practices related to freedom of expression and privacy. This system will provide guidance to companies on how to improve through concrete, measurable steps. In addition, the annual ranking aims to inform the decisions of investors and consumers, the advocacy strategies of civil society groups, and the priorities of policymakers and legislators around the world.
The project is currently in its stakeholder consultative phase and is seeking input from BSR member companies on its current approach and methodology.
Building Responsibly has developed a set of Worker Welfare Principles that establish a common, global baseline for the treatment of workers in the engineering and construction industry.
A coalition of global technology companies, civil society organizations, and the UN have come together to launch “Tech Against Trafficking,” a collaborative effort to further support the eradication of forced labor and human trafficking.
This is the second in a series of blog posts where we and a BSR member company review how business respects individual articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
