Discusses: Getting started and showing leadership in integrating human rights into business management

"We’ve had a statement of principles on human rights in place since 2006 and it’s been very helpful to us as we’ve gone about the business of doing business, and doing it properly … It was clear from the very beginning that we needed an integrated approach. If the control or enforcement mechanism was a separate procedure and not embedded in core business processes, it would fail.”
