🇺🇳 For me, Day 3 of the #UNForumBHR was about the power and impact of storytelling. 💡 The day began with an interactive intergenerational exchange on business and human rights landscape ably facilitated by Daniel Schönfelder and Vanessa Zimmerman. 💡 A series of snapshot discussions placing a focus on right holders was hugely insightful: an example of how European-manufactured pesticides (banned in the EU) caused the collapsed lungs of one vulnerable farm worker in South Africa was particularly powerful. 💡 '𝙄𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙧 [𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨] 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚' was a striking assessment from Leyla S. at Better Cotton. This could be said of adverse human rights impacts more broadly to reflect important principles enshrined in inter alia the #CSDDD, the #UNGPs and OECD - OCDE Guidelines. 💡 The day was capped off with a dynamic workshop hosted by White & Case Llp, New York, succursale de Genève on the European Model Clauses designed by the Responsible Contracting Project, led by Daniel Schönfelder, Michaela Streibelt, Sarah Dadush and Martijn Scheltema. ✍️ As a reminder, the Responsible Contracting Project team is welcoming comments and feedback on the zero draft of the EMCs by 2 December at 👉https://lnkd.in/eVhjqX8E ⭐ For the past three days, it has been hugely energising and inspiring to be surrounded by and speak to many fellow #BHR practitioners.

🌱 **Enhancing Sustainability: The Role of Social Assessment in Environmental Audits** 🌍 As organizations strive for responsible practices and sustainable growth, the integration of social assessment alongside environmental audits becomes crucial. Let's explore why: 1. **Holistic Perspective**: Combining social and environmental assessments provides a comprehensive view. It considers ecological impact alongside the well-being of communities affected by organizational activities. 2. **Demonstrating Social Responsibility**: Beyond compliance, social assessment showcases an organization's commitment to ethical practices and community welfare. 3. **Risk Identification**: Social assessments help identify potential risks related to human rights, labor practices, and stakeholder engagement. 4. **Improved Decision-Making**: Considering both environmental and social factors leads to informed decisions. Understanding community impact guides adaptive strategies during project implementation. 5. **Transparency and Accountability**: Integrating social assessment fosters transparency, enhancing trust with stakeholders. Remember, social assessment complements environmental audits, creating a more robust evaluation framework. Let's build a sustainable future together! 🌿📊 #Sustainability #SocialResponsibility #EnvironmentalAudit #EthicalPractices --- Feel free to share this post and spread awareness about the importance of holistic assessments! 🙌🏼🌎

Beyond Environmental Standards: Embracing Human Rights in Business In Thailand, companies are increasingly committed to environmental standards, but human rights are equally essential to sustainable growth. The UNDP’s Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) guidelines outline clear responsibilities for states and businesses in protecting human rights, emphasizing the need to differentiate between CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and BHR (Business and Human Rights). The HRDD framework offers companies a global standard for protecting human rights, helping manage risks and prevent violations. Built on three core principles: - Protect: States must protect against human rights abuses by both public and private organizations. - Respect: Companies have a duty to respect human rights throughout their operations. - Remedy: When violations occur, companies and states must provide fair remedies and accessible grievance mechanisms. Businesses must identify and evaluate potential human rights risks, assessing actual and possible impacts across their operations and supply chains. This process includes: - Classifying impacts caused, contributed to, or directly linked to the company. - Evaluating risks based on scope, scale, and irreparability. - Action planning to prevent, protect against, or mitigate negative impacts. Managing sustainability isn't just good practice; it ensures long-term business resilience and strengthens trust with consumers and investors. Let’s move forward together, respecting both our planet and its people. #HumanRights #Sustainability #BusinessEthics #CSR #DueDiligence #Thailand Photo: statista, Estimated employment to population ratio in Thailand from 2011 to 2022, by gender

Alhamdulillah our company PT. Inovasi Dinamika Solusi , was invited by the United Nation and certified as a member of the UN Indonesia Global Compact Network. We learn about ESG (Environment, Social, and Good Governance) and we do commit to do The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success. The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact are derived from: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Human Rights Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and Principle 2: make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses. Labour Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; Principle 5: the effective abolition of child labour; and Principle 6: the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. Environment Principle 7: Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and Principle 9: encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies. Anti-Corruption Principle 10: Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.
