HUMANE BUSINESS
BUSINESS & HUMAN RIGHTS
Multinational corporations are having a much greater impact on the communities in which they operate and therefore they must evaluate, respond to and respect human rights as a legal obligation. We offer comprehensive, creative and commercial advice to local and multinational corporations on their human rights policies, particularly in line with standards such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Equator Principles, OECD Guidelines for Multi-National Enterprises, European Convention on Human Rights and Charter of Fundamental Rights.
