The Human Rights and Business Project and the UN Global Compact have collaborated to launch a new approach to in-company human rights management: The Arc of Human Rights Priorities. The Arc builds upon the Sphere of Influence concept, and is designed to allow companies to focus their resources on the most urgent human rights issues in their operations. The Arc of Human Rights Priorities maps human rights issues along two axes: Human Rights Impact and Company Connection. These dimensions allow companies to identify the human rights risks with the greatest impact and the most direct company responsibility.
