This primer’s focus is legal risk, but there is a strong nexus between business and legal considerations. General counsels and corporate legal teams often serve as not just technical experts, but also strategic advisors on corporate governance, non-judicial complaints, and emerging trends and risks beyond the realm of strict legal compliance. Strategic advice regarding implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) is one such area, particularly given the increasing awareness of, and reference to, the UNGPs among policy-makers, legislators, judicial and quasi judicial bodies, and advocates. As a result, this primer should be read together with the Business Guide, which contains information and practical recommendations on how wind and solar companies can implement the UNGPs to improve community-related human rights performance, thus helping to mitigate legal risk.
