"Business and human rights: Aligning corporate behavior with societal priorities", Jan 2017

Investors, consumers and society at large have been paying closer attention to companies’ social impacts, particularly in the area of human rights. And over the last few years, a number of frameworks and initiatives have emphasized companies’ role in respecting human rights. We spoke to Dante Pesce, Member of the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights, to find out how much progress companies have made in this area, where there is room for improvement, and to discuss the role investors can play in encouraging companies to respect human rights.
