This independent analysis, based on a review of 57 recent sustainability reports from companies representing a range of industry sectors, presents examples of encouraging trends in human rights reporting, as well as indications of key areas where there is room for improvement. The aim of this review is not to put forward industry "best practice" but rather to provide reporting organizations and others with ideas to build on. The analysis was undertaken as part of a wider effort -- Human Rights: A Call to Action -- aimed at fostering improved understanding of how and why to publicly disclose policies and practice relating to human rights and how to embed this better understanding into global reporting standards....

- Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in the Context of the European Union
In this paper, I will discuss some of the paradoxical characteristics of the traditional discourse on CSR and human rights obligations, which in the context of globalization emphasize the need for a structural reformulation of it. I will then analyze the United Nations (UN) attempt to submit to international debate the issue of the hypothetical human rights obligations of TNCs. Finally, I will argue that the European Union (EU) is an excellent example of how a joint effort to address the problem – involving (1.) the civil society, (2.) EU and member-states officials and (3.) the European business community – can have a direct impact on EU official policy. I will illustrate the outcome of this effort with the most important documents adopted by the European Commission....

- Ethics, Enlightened Self-Interest, and the Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights: A Critical Look at the Justificatory Foundations of the UN Framework
Central to the United Nations Framework setting out the human rights responsibilities of corporations proposed by John Ruggie is the principle that corporations have a responsibility to respect human rights in their operations whether or not doing so is required by law and whether or not human rights laws are actively enforced. Ruggie proposes that corporations should respect this principle in their strategic management and day-to-day operations for reasons of corporate (enlightened) self-interest. This paper identifies this as a serious weakness and argues that identifying the responsibility to respect human rights as an explicitly ethical obligation to be respected for that reason would provide a much stronger justificatory foundation for respecting the principle seen from a corporate perspective, given that corporations are accountable to their shareholders for their deployment of the firm's financial resources....
