Global Compact publications on Human Rights Reporting for Companies
The UN Global Compact recently issued two reports to offer practical guidance on Human Rights Reporting for Companies.
The UN Global Compact recently issued two reports, which examine trends in corporate measurement and reporting on human rights performance and provide practical guidance for companies engaging on this emerging area of corporate citizenship and accountability.
Both studies have been commissioned by the UN Global Compact, The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, in the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The first report, Corporate Human Rights Reporting – An Analysis of Current Trends, is a survey of recent sustainability reports by over 50 leading companies, which examines trends in current corporate disclosures on human rights and highlights good practice examples as well as ongoing shortcomings in this area. The second report, A Resource Guide to Corporate Human Rights Reporting, offers practical guidance for companies on steps they can take to improve their coverage of human rights as part of their sustainability reports.
