Labor practices top the list of human rights reporting topics

Companies need to go further in including quantifiable information about human rights in their sustainability reports, concluded a survey on corporate human rights reporting just released by GRI and the Roberts Environmental Center...at Claremont McKenna College... The study found that while labor practices were the most frequently reported human rights topics, they were not often identified by reporters as human rights related issues. Four of the nine topics addressed by the G3 human rights indicators were not mentioned at all by half or more of the surveyed companies.
