Summary

This report is an addendum to the report of the UN Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises (A/HRC/47/39), on its project entitled “Business and Human Rights: Towards a Decade of Global Implementation.” Also known as “UNGPs 10+ / Next Decade BHR”, the project is centred around the 10-year anniversary of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), which is taking place in June 2021.

The UNGPs 10+ project is informed by wide-ranging stakeholder consultations and is taking stock of achievements to date, assessing existing gaps and challenges and developing an ambitious vision and roadmap for implementing the UNGPs more widely and more broadly between now and 2030. The role and leverage of financial actors, including institutional investors, is a focus track of the project, and this report is a key output of that track.
