The Global Compact Network Netherlands (GCNL) has issued a publication presenting common insights gained from the analysis it performed of the human rights agendas of ten leading Dutch companies. GCNL initiated the “Business & Human Rights Initiative” to assess how companies can meet their responsibility to respect human rights...The participating companies— ABN Amro (formerly: Fortis Bank Nederland), AkzoNobel, Essent, KLM, Philips, Rabobank, Randstad, Shell, TNT, and Unilever—found that in many ways they are already doing a great deal to meet their responsibility to respect human rights, often without naming human rights explicitly. At the same time, the U.N. “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework and the process of human rights due diligence that it includes provides a practical and attainable approach for companies.
