Accelerator for UN Global Compact Business and Human Rights 2023
The UN Global Compact Business and Human Rights Accelerator 2023 is currently accepting applications. The Business and Human Rights Accelerator is a six-month initiative that engages businesses from various sectors and geographical areas in the UN Global Compact. By building a continuous human rights due diligence process, this practical approach will assist you in moving from commitment to action on human rights and labor rights.
The fundamental tenet of human rights is that every individual has a right to be treated with dignity. Businesses frequently have an impact on the human rights of their own workers, workers under contract, people in their supply chains, residents in the area where they operate, and even the final consumers of their goods or services. They affect almost all of the internationally acknowledged human rights, whether directly or indirectly. As a result, businesses have a duty and a chance to promote human rights throughout their operations, supply networks, and other areas.
Is your business able to demonstrate that it is not a party to violations of international human rights declarations while also supporting and upholding those rights?
