Business and Human rights

Els Drets Humans a l'empresa:
Guia Pràctica
 This booklet is meant to show the enormous potential of the private sector in the promotion of human rights. It aims to be a tool for companies to activate their profile in human rights and to contribute to their promotion and protection within their area of influence. (in Catalan)


Companies - up until now mainly the large ones, but increasingly pymes, too - are today facing the great challenge to manage their impact in terms of human rights as part of their policy on social responsibility (CSR). The guide is designed as an agile tool so that companies can play a more active role with regard to human rights and positively contribute to the promotion and protection of the latter within their area of influence.
