Our Investor Engagement Lead @NikkiGwilliam is speaking at #PRIinPerson on advancing investor action on human rights & social issues:
🗣️"We don't need to wait for perfect data, but rather use the frameworks we already have at hand to address human rights risks & impacts"
Investors should a) promote preparedness & grievance mechanisms, b) when something goes wrong engage with the companies involved using all their tools and leverage. c) Preparedness applies to investors themselves as they also can cause #HumanRights abuses - @PalomaMQuick
@PalomaMQuick shares insights from @SDGBenchmarks Financial Benchmark at the #UNForumBHR
investors and #bizhumanrights panel: <7% of financial institutions disclose their process to identify human rights risks & impacts within own operations, <3% in their financing activities
Doug McMurdo from @LAPFForum on investor leverage "We have to talk to the affected communities, and exercise our vote, use our leverage". "Is not for us to tell the company what to do, is for them to tell us what they will do to address the issue"
Namit - aka @sociopreneur -presents the findings of our latest Corporate Human Rights Benchmark at the UN #bizhumanrights forum:
"There's clear company progress, but it's not fast enough. It's time for legislation to quicken the pace"
@SDGBenchmarks
Since 2020, 95% of all countries froze or even lowered taxes on rich people and corporations. Inequality is a policy choice. Governments must stop putting the richest first, and ordinary people last. #InequalityIndex https://t.co/XQwRPQJvkK

Next week we will host a hybrid session on the side-lines of the 11th #ForumBHR@WGBizHRs in partnership with @ISHRglobal. We will present the findings of the #CHRB2022 & provide a unique insight into five-year trends. Join us virtually: https://t.co/UEqPGWlijU #bizhumanrights
@InvestForRights response to our #CHRB2022:
"Investors will explore escalating their collective leverage to pressure companies that repeatedly scored zero over multiple years, with some investors indicating that sustained poor performance will shape their Board voting decisions"
Investors welcome 2022 CHRB benchmark results, @SDGBenchmarks, indicating slow but steady progress on human rights. Investors will use data to push for continued improvement in companies' #duediligence processes. https://t.co/mmh9JUIiWp
We have assessed 127 companies from the food and agricultural products, ICT manufacturing and automotive manufacturing sectors on their #humanrights performance. Read the results and insights from out 2022 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark here: https://t.co/dOBVsoABQU #CHRB2022
There is a + correlation between a company’s human rights score & its performance in our 2021 #justtransition assessment. Just transition plans are a concrete way for businesses to operationalise their responsibility to respect human rights in the face of the climate crisis.
