Investors, governments, and stakeholders demand corporations to recognize, prevent, and mitigate any direct or indirect human rights risks or impacts as global awareness of human rights abuses grows.
The regional, national, and local legislation has formalized the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which outline enterprises' obligations with regard to human rights.
This necessitates that businesses understand the legal and reputational risks in the countries in which they currently do business and in which they aspire to do business. However, the ability to deal with these problems frequently lies outside of their areas of expertise and comfort.
