Legislation governing business
impacts on human rights is
increasing, with mandatory human
rights reporting, due diligence
obligations and other regulatory
and legislative devices continuing
to emerge across the globe. These
requirements form part of broader
efforts to drive responsible
business conduct, sustainable
corporate governance, and to
include business in efforts to tackle
climate change through the energy
transition. In this briefing, the
Global Business Initiative on
Human Rights and Clifford Chance
consider these developments,
focusing on what businesses need
to know to navigate the changing
legal landscape.
