This guide is for managers in companies in England, Scotland and Wales who have a responsibility for human rights practices in their company.

It will also help managers who have responsibility for social issues, human resources, customer and community relations and those who advise the board.

This guide sets out seven steps managers should follow to help companies identify, mitigate and report on the human rights effects of their activities. It also provides advice on how companies can meet the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights - the global standard, which outlines the role of business and governments in respecting human rights.
