Investor groups, human rights organizations and research agencies have come together to launch a “Corporate Human Rights Benchmark”. The initiative is focused on measuring the human rights efforts of some 100 large multinational companies and rank their performances. The objective is to follow through on business pledges to avoid human trafficking, forced labor, and a range of human rights risks relevant to each industry covered. The pilot benchmark will be published in November.
