About the project

About the project

What this project is about:

  • business and human rights,

  • why business should take its obligations not to violate human rights seriously

  • how it all differs from corporate social responsibility,

  • about tools that will come in handy if you decide to start implementing human rights standards in your work.

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights are a document that will help to understand the responsibilities of both states and businesses in the field of human rights. In addition, for businesses, the Guiding Principles are a roadmap for implementing corporate responsibility in daily business processes.
