Announcing a New Collaboration Using Tech to Combat Human Trafficking
A growing number of organizations and initiatives are working to tackle forced labor and human trafficking, which affects 40 million or more people around the globe. Given the widespread nature of this crime and the complexity of tackling it—further described in the 2018 U.S. State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report published today—increased engagement from all stakeholders, including and especially the private sector, is vital.

A Map to Help Business Collaborate with Anti-Slavery Organizations
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "no one should be held in slavery or servitude” and “slavery in all its forms should be eliminated." Yet unfortunately modern slavery—most clearly embodied in forced labor and sex trafficking—remains both widespread and difficult to combat today. In 2016 alone, more than 40 million people were victims of these crimes.

The Impacts of Climate on Health: Why Business Should Care and How to Act
Every year since 2011, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report has identified climate-related risks as a top threat to business. In 2018, failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation was ranked within the top 10 global risks, alongside extreme weather events and natural disasters.

As climate change impacts have begun to manifest around the globe, the 132-year-old company partnered with BSR to take this work a step further to examine what climate risk and resilience might mean for The Coca-Cola Company value chain.

What the Right to Own Property Means for a Land-Based Sustainable Business
This is the second in a series of blog posts where we and a BSR member company review how business respects individual articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), 70 years after its adoption in 1948. This series has the support of the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR), but any views expressed here should not be attributed to OHCHR. This particular post, co-authored with Enel, explores what the right to own property and land rights mean for business.

Indkøb som fremmer social inklusion – og bundlinien
Er det muligt at kombinere social inklusion og styrket bundlinie i en og samme forretningsgang? Er det troværdigt, at man kan reducere omkostningerne og øge kvaliteten, hvis man ansætter medarbejdere marginaliseret på arbejdsmarkedet?

How to Prevent Your Sustainability Collaboration from Failing
More than ever before, companies are collaborating with stakeholders across their value chains, and even across entire regional or global governance systems, to learn about the systemic issues that curb long-term business growth—such as keystone species extinction, talent shortages, and climate-threatened supply chains—and agree on joint actions to address them.
