Corporations Are Advised to Improve Human Rights Reporting

In order to encourage improvements in the coverage of human rights principles in corporate sustainability reporting, the GRI, along with the United Nations Global Compact and Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, embarked upon a collaborative project named "Human rights—A call to action."... In September, 2009, the Working Group published a report detailing its recommendations for improved corporate reporting on human rights. SocialFunds.com spoke with Bastian Buck, the Technical Development Coordinator for the Working Group, about the findings of the report... "The Working Group focused on the scope of human rights" in its report, Buck [said]. According to the report, "Reporting organizations need guidance on how to identify which human rights are relevant for reporting, not just what to consider."
