Show notes

In this episode, we ask whether human rights should have a business case. In a world where competitiveness and security agendas seem to take priority while sustainability regulation is being rolled back, we look at what research says about how protecting human rights can benefit companies’ bottom line. But is it dangerous to frame human rights as a business case, as they should be respected at no matter what cost?
