CSR Europe publishes guidance on how to embed human rights in company functions

"Blueprint For Embedding Human Rights in Key Company Functions", Mar 2016

The purpose of this blueprint is to provide practical support to: CSR/Sustainability managers in driving the effort of embedding human rights across the organisation.. Human Resource, Purchasing and Risk/Legal managers in clarifying their roles and responsibilities when contributing to the embedding efforts...This is done through clarifying the concept of embedding human rights by breaking it down into six elements that can easily be applied to a business environment...The six elements of embedding human rights are then applied to the Human Resources, Procurement and Risk functions, clarifying how each function can contribute to the overall process of embedding human rights across the organisation...[Six elements: 1. Cross-functional  leadership, 2. Share responsibility, 3. Incentivise, 4. Provide operational guidance and training, 5. Foster two-way communication, 6. Review, analyse and integrate] [Refers to Deutsche Telekom, Enel, Gas Natural, Hitachi, Marks & Spencer, Randstad, Telecom Italia, Vattenfall]
