creative tools, point sizes or Pantone colours,
you’ll find me outside sitting under a
tree, ruminating how cool
Mother Earth is.
My good values:
1: Protect
Pillar 1 specifies the state’s duty to protect human rights in the context of business operations. This requires States to set clear expectations for companies by enacting effective policies, legislation, and regulations.
In doing so, States establish
that appropriate steps are in place to prevent, investigate,
punish and redress adverse
human rights impacts.
2: Respect
Pillar 2 outlines how businesses can identify their negative human rights impact and demonstrate that they have adequate policies and procedures to address them. Businesses should institute a policy commitment to meet this responsibility. Businesses should also undertake ongoing human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, and mitigate human rights abuses. Finally, businesses should enable remediation mechanisms for the negative impacts they have caused or contributed to.
3. Remedy
Pillar 3 stipulates that when a right is violated, victims must have access to effective remedies which are legitimate, accessible, predictable, equitable, transparent, and rights-compatible. Pillar 3 sets out criteria for effectiveness of judicial and non-judicial grievance mechanisms implemented by both States and businesses. Further, Pillar 3 underlines the expectation that operational-level mechanisms should be based on genuine engagement and dialogue with the stakeholder groups whose rights they seek to remedy
