Switzerland

5. National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights 

5.5 Corporate responsibility [page 11]

Consultations with stakeholder groups from business, civil society and the academic world showed that the greatest challenges faced by business enterprises based and/or operating in Switzerland are connected with their operations and business relationships abroad. For this reason, while it does not exclude domestic operations, the NAP is geared more closely to business activities abroad. As determined in the UNGP, the time and expense attached to possible conditions should be in proportion to the human rights risks to which the business enterprise is exposed.
