Snapshot co-organized by the Working Group on Business and Human Rights and World Benchmarking Alliance

The session will focus on stakeholder engagement in the implementation of the UNGPs by companies. Effective engagement is critical for companies to understand the human rights impacts they cause or contribute to and to develop meaningful responses. The discussion will underscore the importance of engaging not only internal stakeholders but also external communities, supply chain workers, and other rightsholders who are often directly impacted by corporate activities. While progress has been made, many companies still struggle to ensure this engagement is equitable, transparent, and effective. Drawing on five years of CHRB trends and WBA's Social Benchmark the session will showcase good practices as well as ongoing challenges. It will explore how companies can foster meaningful engagement that builds trust and comprehensively addresses human rights concerns. Speakers will also examine the role of investors, civil society, and business platforms in driving improved corporate human rights performance, especially in light of growing regulatory requirements.
