Companies have a responsibility towards upholding human rights

The fourth Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility held in Doha last week explored, among other themes, the importance of upholding human rights in the business world. Some business leaders maintain that their sole responsibility is to be profitable. Is that perspective becoming outdated, and does it put a company at risk of becoming involved in human rights abuses and therefore damaging its reputation? Rubina Singh speaks to Christopher Avery, Director of Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, to explore how a working relationship between business and human rights can be achieved.
