June 2021 marked the 10-year anniversary of the introduction of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). This milestone provides an important opportunity to reflect on the progress made in Australia, to identify gaps in policy, law and practice, and explore possible solutions.
As part of this anniversary, the Australian Human Rights Commission and Australian Human Rights Institute has collaborated on a new report that serves as practical roadmap for government, business and investors as they look to increase their commitment to UNGP implementation. We also hope it can serve as an advocacy tool for the diverse range of actors working to embed respect for human rights into business activities.
This event will bring together key stakeholders from Australia’s business and human rights community to launch the report and discuss next steps.
