The B-Tech Project provides authoritative guidance and resources for implementing the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human rights (UNGPs) in the technology space. In 2019, UN Human Rights launched the project after consultations with civil society, business, States, and other experts about the scope of the B-Tech Project.
The B-Tech project is structured along four strategic focus areas:
- Focus Area 1: Addressing Human Rights Risks in Business Models
- Focus Area 2: Human Rights Due Diligence and End-Use
- Focus Area 3: Accountability and Remedy
- Focus Area 4: “A Smart Mix of Measures”: Exploring regulatory and policy responses to human rights challenges linked to digital technologies
Adding to this, the project also explores the responsibilities of investors in the technology space, as a cross-cutting theme.
