The concept of Business and Human Rights revolves around the responsibility of corporations to respect and uphold human rights in their operations. It encompasses the idea that businesses have a duty to ensure that their activities do not contribute to or result in human rights violations.

The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights serve as a framework for companies to understand and implement their responsibilities in this regard. These principles emphasize the need for businesses to conduct due diligence to identify potential human rights risks associated with their operations, both within their own organization and throughout their supply chains.

Effective supply chain management is crucial in ensuring that businesses are not complicit in human rights abuses. By thoroughly assessing suppliers' practices and taking steps to address any identified issues, companies can mitigate the risk of being involved in unethical or harmful activities.
