United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights provide a framework for companies to respect human rights. They outline that businesses have a responsibility to avoid causing or contributing to human rights abuses, address any issues that happen, and ensure their operations do not harm people. The principles emphasize that governments should protect human rights and support companies in doing so, while companies should be transparent and take proactive steps to respect people's rights throughout their supply chains and activities. Overall, they promote responsible corporate behavior that safeguards human dignity and fairness.
