During 2020 Business & Human Rights Resource Centre followed up over 800 allegations of corporate human rights abuse. We supported affected workers and communities, built knowledge to tackle irresponsible and abusive business conduct and worked with partners to drive accountability for harm.
As we take stock of the challenges and successes of 2020 and look ahead to 2021, we commit to continue working to ensure business respect for human rights is central to a just recovery. We can only do this with the help of our partners, allies and YOU. Thank you!
