B-Tech Community of Practice reflections on strategic aspects of business respect for human rights: themes for further attention

In April and May 2021, the B-Tech Company Community of Practice (COP) met for three two-hour sessions focused on the topic of The Strategic Aspects of Business Respect for Human Rights. This note offers the B-Tech Project’s reflections from sessions which focused on three cross-cutting themes that merit further industry and multi-stakeholder discussion.

The COP companies noted that the UNGPs expectations regarding stakeholder engagement are clear and helpful i.e., that as part of HRDD companies should engage affected stakeholders or their representative organizations, as well as civil society, academic and other experts that can credibly advise on a company’s human rights systems and risks…
