UNDP Human Rights vs. Competiveness Report and WBA Corporate Human Rights Benchmark
A newly released UNDP report, Human Rights vs. Competitiveness – A False Dilemma? challenges the assumption that stronger corporate human rights performance comes at a cost to companies and undermines financial performance. After analyzing World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) Corporate Human Rights Benchmark criteria and the financial health of companies, the report suggests that there is actually no financial trade-off between improved human rights performance and competitiveness. Instead, it points to neutral or positive relationships with operational efficiency and investor perceptions, suggesting we reframe human rights due diligence as compatible with and potentially supportive of long-term business resilience.  Alongside this, DCAF has completed a methodology-based analysis of recent changes to the WBA Corporate Human Rights Benchmark methodology, examining how updated benchmarking approaches translate these expectations into practice and what they signal for companies, investors, and policymakers. ]]>
