This session has three purposes: one, to highlight the technical and political relevance of a repository of data – something the former UN Special Representative on Business and Human Rights highlighted in his first mandate – we need accessible information and greater transparency; two, to share with you some few general trends before we delve into the cases and details of implementation in the panels of the Forum; and three, to start collectively thinking what this all means for the way forward. Apart from public sources, the submissions the Working Group has received, and our engagement and dissemination meetings, I will draw from two pilot surveys recently conducted by the Working Group.
