The Equality and Human Rights Commission, Great Britain, has launched new guidance on business and human rights for managers of companies operating in the UK.

The Commission has produced a seven-step guide to help managers understand what they need to do to ‘know’ and ‘show’ their company respects human rights and a further set of guides to help managers handle and resolve human rights complaints from workers, customers and communities.

The new guides complement the Commission’s earlier five-step guide for company boards and draw on the experience of UK businesses who are embedding human rights at board and operational levels.
