We all have a responsibility to build an enabling environment for human rights defenders….. companies are no exception! #HoldBusinessAccountable #BHRIndicators 🔗: ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

Commitments are empty words without proper implementation! Effective implementation for companies lies in creating the required mechanisms to ensure that their commitments are fulfilled. #WeMustSeeAction #BHRIndicators 🔗: ishr.ch/defenders-tool… ©️ Grant Cieciura/The Greats

Monitor companies’ behaviour! If UN experts, civil society or media sources have identified a company trying to block human rights defenders' activities, then they are not complying with their commitments. #BHRIndicators #TrackTheirBehaviour ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

Companies cannot ignore the human rights records of their business partners and suppliers. Companies should implement regular follow-up and consequences, including terminating the business relationship #BHRIndicators #ItCannotBeIgnored ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

The development of indicators for Business and Human Rights shows ISHR’s dedication to ensure that human rights defenders have the tools and knowledge to do their job as safely as possible. #CorporateResponsibility #BHRIndicators 🔗: ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

Regular reporting on allegations is important to guarantee effective monitoring of a company’s commitments and obligations. #Transparency #RegularReporting #BHRIndicators 🔗: ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

Investigate allegations! Companies must be prepared to take action in response to any allegation of company involvement that may have led to threats or attacks on human rights defenders. 🔗: ishr.ch/defenders-tool… #InvestigateAllegations #BHRIndicators

The safety of human rights defenders is built on due diligence processes. Companies must never forget that women, Indigenous Peoples and other marginalised groups bear disproportionate and differentiated effects. #EffectiveProtection #BHRIndicators 🔗 ishr.ch/defenders-tool…

Zero tolerance! Companies must act in a timely manner to ensure the protection of human rights defenders against any act, physical or legal. 🔗 ishr.ch/defenders-tool… #ZeroToleranceToAttacks #BHRIndicators Photo: ©️ Rosita Uricchio for Fine Acts/The Greats
