“What human rights?" - Why some companies speak out while others don’t

Companies can be a powerful voice in the protection of the vulnerable in repressive countries, particularly where abuses are taking place linked to their industry and when they are major investors. Unfortunately, many companies remain unwilling to speak out for human rights, especially when they think that doing so might hurt them financially. However, a few brave companies are helping to create and expand "enabling environments" for human rights. Perhaps they can set a new trend for companies speaking out to protect civic space.
