Overview
This section is designed to point businesses in the direction of particular tools and initiatives which can assist in developing control mechanisms within your business to ensure human rights are fully implemented.
As already outlined in the section on Strategy, the key to managing human rights in an organisation is to analyse and understand the risks and opportunities in a business’s operations. There is no one standard way of doing this and it may vary somewhat depending on the kind of processes that are typical to a business sector. However, a series of additional steps are recommended here and shown in the diagram below.
