UN Principles on Business and Human Rights

The UN Principles on Business and Human Rights provide a global framework for companies to respect human rights. They outline that businesses should avoid causing harm, address any negative impacts they may have, and fix issues they are responsible for. Governments are expected to set regulations and ensure companies follow these standards. In essence, the principles promote responsible corporate behavior that protects individuals’ rights, fosters accountability, and encourages respectful, ethical practices in all areas of business operations.
