Social Impact
It is imperative that we accelerate the transition to an economic model that serves people in an inclusive and participatory way, respecting human rights, in which the needs of all are met.
About
How can companies guide their business to promote social welfare and fight inequalities in the country? This question guides the work of this Thematic Chamber, which works, among other ways, to train companies to align their strategies with good practices related to the Human Rights agenda.
Based on the UN guiding principles on Business and Human Rights (2011), this TC works to train and disseminate good practices, tools and methodologies for companies to promote actions that generate shared value and well-being for their employees, society and value chain. In addition, the training and exchange of good practices also allows companies to become even more qualified and manage to measure the social impact of their businesses and better manage the risks linked to Human Rights.
The Social Impact CT also works to encourage discussion and seek convergence on projects and national and international regulations that deal with the subject.
Goals
- Train companies for Human Rights tools and methodologies.
- Foster discussions on corporate social responsibility in companies and in the territories where they operate.
- Foster discussions on national and international regulations related to human rights and business.
- Stimulate the sharing of good business practices on topics relevant to the Human Rights agenda.
- Articulate with public authorities and civil society in order to create an environment of harmony between corporate strategies, their financing and legislation regarding the Human Rights agenda.
