[PDF] Evidence of Corporate Disclosure relevant to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
This research was conducted to inform understanding of how companies currently report on their human rights performance, and how this maps against the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights. The research reviewed corporate disclosure of human rights policy commitments, due diligence processes, remediation efforts, and grievance mechanisms to: Understand to what extent current company disclosure covers key elements of the Guiding Principles; Understand which particular Guiding Principles tend to have greater vs. weaker disclosure; and Identify examples of disclosure that represent the “leading edge” of reporting in this area.
