Human rights: A just transition and what disclosures mean for confidence

Having set out the background to our human rights campaign in our first blog, we now look specifically at human rights in the context of climate change and at the challenges of disclosure versus efficacy in human rights management.

From policies to progress: Our observations from our human rights campaign

With the 76th anniversary of World Human Rights Day taking place on 10 December we highlight how we’re emphasising the importance of protecting, respecting and remedying human rights as a global investor. We believe that human rights issues can present financially material risks to investors – from legal and regulatory risks to operational and reputational impacts. In our two-part blog series, we examine findings from our first human rights engagement campaign.
