3.2. Responsible Business Conduct          

How should a company fulfil its responsibility? [page 32]

The 16th principle specifies the ways in which companies can embed respect for human rights in all their activities and publicly express their commitment. Policy statements and operational guidelines provide a practical framework for the company’s activities. The Guiding Principles strongly emphasise that a company’s strategy should be adopted at the most senior level. The Government stressed the responsibility of management in this respect in its white paper on state ownership.
