What is Business and Human Rights? [In a Nutshell]
FORUM-ASIA is excited to announce that our Development and Knowledge Management (DKM) Programme have officially transitioned into the Business and Human Rights Programme (BHR)!
This change reflects our commitment to ensuring that businesses respect #humanrights and prioritise people’s well-being over profits.
What is #BizHumanRights? Business and human rights are deeply connected. All businesses should respect #humanrights, but reality often shows the opposite—corporations violate rights, harm the environment, and prioritise profits. BHR emphasises that businesses must promote human rights, protect the environment, and support communities positively. However, without regulation and accountability, the negative impact on communities is severe. At the core of BHR is the belief that without human rights, there should be no business.
Watch this video explaining why BHR matters and how we can ensure that businesses uphold their responsibility to people and the planet! Stay tuned for the next videos on this series!
