Unilever and Shift have launched a collaboration in support of the Human Rights Reporting and Assurance Frameworks Initiative (RAFI). Unilever will work with Shift to conduct the first pilot of the draft reporting framework in 2014-2015.  This framework will inform how Unilever reports on its on-going efforts to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights.  Unilever’s experience with the framework will, in turn, inform the framework’s further development, prior to its finalization at the end of 2015. 

The press release with further details on the collaboration is available here. For further coverage of the collaboration, see here.
