[PDF] Submission to UN Working Group on Business & Human Rights

One general recommendation that we would like to make is that the Group’s work be as grounded as possible in real cases and issues from all regions...Before posting an allegation against a company on our website we invite the company to respond, if it has not already done so. So far we have invited over 800 responses, from over 500 companies headquartered in 65 countries. The response rate is 74%. The content of the allegations and company responses is a good indicator of business and human rights patterns, developments and challenges globally.
