A forum on human rights good practice

The UN Global Compact and Maplecroft invite you to participate in a multi-stakeholder discussion on human rights dilemmas for multi-national corporations. The forum aims to enhance our collective understanding of human rights and labour standards themes, and to identify practical good practice that responsible business can implement when challenged by real-world dilemmas. It also provides links to other relevant websites, resources and initiatives.

Explore themes

Explore an initial set of human rights and labour standards themes relevant to your business. We provide an introduction to each theme as well as a summary of how it impacts business activities, operations and supply chains. Stakeholders are asked to comment on the significance of each theme and suggest additional dilemmas for business.

Discuss dilemmas and suggest good practice

Key dilemmas will be identified and added to this site throughout the course of 2009 and 2010. Dilemma profiles include further insight on the risks to business as well as case studies, stakeholder viewpoints, links to relevant themes and an ongoing dialogue on potential action multi-national corporations can take to help ensure adherence to human rights and labour standards, and contribute to good practice.
