PART 4: HOW SHOULD BUSINESS RESPOND? Communicating how risks and impacts have been addressed: a snapshot 1. Publicly report information related to your policies, strategies, processes and outcomes. Ensure this information is accessible and fit for purpose. 2. Engage with potentially impacted stakeholders on the human rights risks, impacts and mitigation strategies of your business in an appropriate manner taking into account language, culture and literacy. Additional guidance The UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, developed by Shift and Mazars, is a comprehensive guide to assist companies to report on human rights issues in line with their responsibility to respect human rights. It is available here: www. UNGPreporting.org 4. Ensure access to an effective remedy ‘Access to effective remedy’ is a core component of the UN Guiding Principles. Where businessrelated human rights harms occur, the UN Guiding Principles articulate three types of mechanisms to provide access to effective remedy: state-based judicial mechanisms, statebased non-judicial grievance mechanisms, and non-state-based grievance mechanisms. While effective state-based mechanisms are at the core of ensuring access to remedy,134 this guidance is focusing on the role of business grievance mechanisms. 50 |
