Chapter 1 – Report of the Policy, Law and Complaints Group remedy. A mechanism should be developed to ensure people have adequate access to information on available remedial mechanisms or processes. The Commission further recognises the need to create more awareness among the public on issues relating to business and human rights, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. With regard to this, the Commission, in its Work Plan for 2016, has devised activities to promote awareness of business and human rights issues to a wider spectrum of the business community, including in other states in the Peninsula and in specific industries such as the plantation sector in Sabah. (e) RTD on the UNGP Reporting Framework (UNGPRF) and the Role of Keys Actors in Incentivising Improved Corporate Performance On 2 October, the Commission, in collaboration with Shift, Mazars, ASEAN CSR Network, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), and UNCT, organised a RTD on “The UNGP Reporting Framework (UNGPRF) and the Role of Keys Actors in Incentivising Improved Corporate Performance” with the relevant Government agencies, companies, trade unions, and CSOs. Shift and Mazars, over the last two years, had developed the UNGPRF, which was launched in London in February. The objectives of the RTD were to discuss Malaysia’s approach to its duty to protect under the UNGP, to introduce the UNGPRF, to discuss how the document could complement and support current company sustainability reporting requirements in Malaysia, and to identify appropriate steps towards the implementation of the UNGPRF. The UNGPRF is the first comprehensive guidance for companies to report on human rights issues in line with their responsibility to respect human rights as set out in the UNGP. The UNGPRF provides a concise set of questions to which any company should strive to have answers in order to know and show that it is meeting its responsibility to respect human rights in practice. It offers companies clear and straightforward guidance on how to answer these questions with relevant and meaningful information about their human rights policies, processes, and performance. (f) Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) The Commission, since 2012, has been monitoring the negotiations on the TPPA to ensure that the Government puts in place safeguards as envisaged under Principle 9 of the UNGP, which declares that: “States should maintain adequate domestic policy space to meet their human rights obligations when pursuing business-related policy objectives with other States or business enterprises, for instance through investment treaties or contracts.” 41 BOOK-ANR2016-01-latest.indb 41 08/04/2016 3:32 PM
