- Summary
This introduction briefly outlines the concept of ‘human rights’ and the main categories of rights, as well as the relationship between corporations and human rights. The aim is to give company managers a fuller under- standing of what their stakeholders – including employ- ees, shareholders, customers, local communities, civil society, governments and business partners – increas- ingly expect of them, both in terms of strategic policy and implementation at the local level.
