This joint publication of the Global Compact and the Office of the High Commissioner explores the application of the Global Compact's human rights principles. "Embedding Human Rights in Business Practice" offers a thorough analysis of the human rights principles from the perspective of the UN, business, academia and civil society. However, the main focus of the publication is the practical meaning of the principles for companies, presenting four case studies and a policy report on business practice in different industries. The main conclusion drawn from these cases is that proactive efforts to address human rights concerns better equipped businesses to manage risks and helps secure and maintain their license to operate.
