This is the first discussion paper for the Valuing Respect project which aims to develop better ways to evaluate business respect for human rights. Our focus is on outcomes for people, so we are interested in both evidence of actual outcomes for people once they have happened, as well as those factors that offer an indicator of a likely outcome for people, and which can be used to support good and prevent bad outcomes
In Shift’s first discussion paper for Valuing Respect, we propose two complementary ways to think about the breadth of information – and associated indicators – that might be useful in evaluating a company’s human rights performance and therefore supporting improvements in reporting and business respect for human rights.
