I am honored to deliver the annual lecture celebrating Sir Geoffrey Chandler...This evening I would like to share with you not only what I have sought to achieve through my mandate. I also want to convey why I chose the path that I did—which in some ways differs from more traditional human rights approaches—and indicate briefly its results to date and my expectations for the future. The first and most critical step in any such endeavor is to set a clear strategic objective. I set mine as achieving the maximum reduction in corporate-related human rights harm in the shortest possible period of time...[The] products [of the process] are a Policy Framework and Guiding Principles for its implementation: a common platform for action on which cumulative progress can be built, without foreclosing any promising longer-term developments.
