We encourage the UN Working Group: • To focus on consistency of interpretations and application of the Guiding Principles across multiple geographies, business sectors and stakeholders. • To engage with all parties from all geographies in this implementation phase with a focus on increasing awareness and capacity. • To use the annual forum to discuss good practices as well as common shortfalls and challenges encountered by both business and states. We invite the UN Working Group: • To make use of the multi‐sector composition, size and geographic diversity of the GBI membership... • To benefit from, and engage with, a wider business audience through the GBI Regional Roundtables on business and human rights.
