Our free Weekly Updates include the latest news and reports on companies’ human rights impacts: positive steps they are taking, and alleged abuses. Over 4000 opinion leaders worldwide have registered for the updates. You can sign up to receive updates at: Updates
In the chart, steps taken by individual companies are listed first. At the end of the chart are initiatives that involve a large group of companies.
When we plan to include reports about allegations of misconduct by a company in a Weekly Update, we invite the company to provide a response to include alongside the allegations.
