Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights are a set of guidelines established by the United Nations to ensure that businesses respect human rights in their operations. They outline the responsibilities of businesses to avoid causing harm to people's rights, and to address any adverse impacts they may have. The principles emphasize the need for companies to conduct due diligence to identify risks, engage with affected communities, and provide remedies when issues arise. Essentially, they promote ethical business practices that support human dignity and social justice.
