The UK 2013 NAP provides in the Introduction that [page 4]:

“To capitalise on the opportunities of our commercially-networked world, we need all companies – from the biggest to the smallest – to embrace their responsibilities towards society, including respecting human rights.”

The UK 2013 NAP notes in relation to Government expectations of business that [page 14]:

“We recognise that different businesses will need to take different approaches to embedding this approach; that implementation will be progressive; and in particular that implementation will need to be compatible with the resource limitations of small and medium-sized enterprises.”
