the responsibilities of landlords under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) to ensure habitable housing. The Commission subsequently welcomed the announcement of ANZ’s interest-free home-insulation scheme. Access to remedy The Commission provided feedback on the Government’s Centre for Dispute Resolution mapping of non-judicial remedy schemes in New Zealand. The Commission provided analysis of the mapping data and the accompanying questionnaire and made recommendations to ensure the UNGPs were referenced and used to guide the definition of an ‘adequate’ non-judicial remedy landscape. This work and gaps in existing remedy mechanisms to address human rights issues arising from the Canterbury earthquakes were the focus of a presentation by the Commission at the 6th UN Business and Human Rights Forum in Geneva. Canterbury earthquakes The Commission’s recommendations in its Staying in the Red Zones report were reflected in the Government’s decision to establish a bespoke tribunal through the Canterbury Earthquakes Insurance Tribunal Bill, which is before Parliament. The tribunal is intended to provide speedy, flexible and cost-effective services to help resolve insurance claims between policy holders and insurers, and insured persons and the Earthquake Commission Act 1993. The Chief Commissioner presented at the Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct in Paris on access to remedy in New Zealand, with a focus on the OECD Guidelines for Multi-National Enterprises National Contact Point (NCP) located within MBIE. The Commission is a member of an inter-agency and stakeholder liaison group that provides support to the NCP. Ethical sourcing The Commission hosted its third successful ethical sourcing meeting in July with business procurement officials, including representatives from Woolworths New Zealand (formerly Progressive Enterprises), Air New Zealand, ANZ, Kathmandu, Warehouse Group, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare and Fonterra. The Global Head of Environmental and Social Affairs for the adidas Group shared their experience with ethical sourcing and human rights due diligence as a sophisticated example of a multinational company doing responsible business on a global scale. Practical ways of embedding human rights into procurement practice is of great interest to New Zealand big business, particularly with the United Kingdom and Australian modern-day slavery legislation putting added pressure on businesses to have strong and robust supply-chain practices that include human rights due diligence.
