This guide is intended to help companies begin a process of identifying human rights-relevant issues in their operations and to assist in translating these into meaningful and effective reporting. Though written primarily for companies that do not have extensive human rights reporting experience but are committed to improving their performance in this area, it contains information that will also be of value for NGOs and public agencies.

The document is divided into three sections: Section 1 provides an overview of the evolving human rights and business field; Section 2 discusses human rights reporting and looks at some of the key challenges and debates in this area; and Section 3 looks at the practical aspects of human rights reporting and offers helpful information for companies, including on how to choose a reporting focus from within the broad range of human rights, and how to approach the complex subject of complicity in human rights abuses as part of reporting.
