full_text_status: public
abstract: This paper analyzes how companies can integrate respect for human rights into their business operations. First, the ‘Human Rights Sphere’, describe six steps through which a company can identify its human rights issues: (1) rights holders, (2) impacts, (3) relevant human rights, (4) its relationship towards the rights holders, (5) a justification for action, and (6) type of response. Second, the ‘Corporate Human Rights Integration Scheme’ (CHRIS) is an advice on how to integrate and embed human rights into corporate policies and standards.The ‘Human Rights Sphere’ provides a practical model for companies that they can apply to their own operations and in combination with CHRIS, corporate respect for human rights can be enhanced.
