[PDF] Business and Human Rights Impacts: Identifying and Prioritizing Human Rights Risks [The Hague, 15-16 Jan 2014]

This report summarizes the key lessons learned from a workshop facilitated by Shift on identifying and prioritizing human rights risks. The workshop was convened by the Dutch Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER) on 15 and 16 January 2014, in The Hague, the Netherlands. The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) build practical experience in applying key tools and approaches for identifying, appropriately prioritizing and taking action on human rights risks; 2) generate broader learning about implementing these approaches to share with a wider audience in order to contribute to evolving understandings of how to put business respect for human rights into practice. The workshop involved representatives from companies as well as expert stakeholders from trade unions, NGOs and other non-profit organizations.
