Businesses are increasingly being required to report upon, and manage, their potential human rights impacts. Stakeholders, including investors, employees and customers are incorporating human rights performance into their decision-making, informed by increased corporate transparency.

We have compiled an interactive guide, summarising developments by jurisdiction (spoiler alert: we expect more jurisdictions to adopt human rights reporting and due diligence obligations).
